Karlova špilja
Karlova špilja is a cave in Zagorje about long, located on the north slope of the Ivanščica massif. It is a dry horizontal cave with a passage length of . It is difficult to access, but a tourist path has been planned. Its close proximity to the Šumec cave and paleolontological potential have made it a target of interest for local speleologists and paleontologists. Description Like Bračkova špilja and Voska luknja, the cave is located in the ravine of the Šumec, which cuts through the Dubrava peak. It is horizontal, wider at the entrance than in the passages. There are two passages from the entrance. The passage on the right narrows and remains unexplored. The passage on the left is longer is longer but narrow and ends with an impassible widening. All passages are only accessible by crawling, but digging may widen them and has been recommended in conjunction with archaeological investigation. A map of the cave was drawn in 2012 by Tomica Matišić exists. History Cav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Middle Triassic
In the geologic timescale, the Middle Triassic is the second of three epoch (geology), epochs of the Triassic period (geology), period or the middle of three series (stratigraphy), series in which the Triassic system (stratigraphy), system is divided in chronostratigraphy. The Middle Triassic spans the time between annum, Ma and Ma (million years ago). It is preceded by the Early Triassic Epoch and followed by the Late Triassic Epoch. The Middle Triassic is divided into the Anisian and Ladinian age (geology), ages or stage (stratigraphy), stages. Formerly the middle series in the Triassic was also known as Muschelkalk. This name is now only used for a specific unit of stratum, rock strata with approximately Middle Triassic age, found in western Europe. Middle Triassic life Following the Permian–Triassic extinction event, the most devastating of all mass-extinctions, life recovered slowly. In the Middle Triassic, many groups of organisms reached higher diversity again, s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Generalka
Generalka is a cave in Zagorje with a horizontal passage length, located on the north slope of the Ivanščica massif, above the rock quarry Vudelja that opened in 1935 for road building purposes. It is a dry horizontal cave, and small, but complex. It is difficult to access, but a tourist path has been planned. Description The cave is located on the Generalski Stol plateau of Ivanščica. The cave formed in Anisian dolomite under a combination of tectonic, erosive, and corrosive conditions. It is small, so at 6 points its passages remain incompletely explored because of narrowness alone. But its passages form a complex network of 4 interconnected passages. The cave likely continues to the northwest towards a second entrance. Speleothems include stalactites, stalagmites, and flowstone, along with the occasional stalagnate and coralloids. A map of the cave drawn in 2009 by Tomica Matišić. History Cavers from the newly founded section Kraševski Zviri discovered the cave ...

Troglophilus Cavicola
''Troglophilus'' is a genus of European cave crickets in the monotypic subfamily Troglophilinae; both taxa were erected by Hermann August Krauss Hermann August Krauss (1 August 1848 – 21 April 1939) was an Austria, Austrian entomologist who specialised in Orthoptera and Dermaptera.

Scoliopteryx Libatrix
The herald (''Scoliopteryx libatrix'') is a moth of the family Erebidae. The species was first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of ''Systema Naturae''. It is found throughout the Palearctic and Nearctic (Holarctic). Technical description and variation It has a wingspan of about 44 mm. The wings are ample; the forewing angled in the middle of the termen, concave between the angle and the acute apex. Forewing grey mixed with ochreous, with fuscous striae, posteriorly with a rosy tinge: the veins terminally whitish; an irregular median suffusion reaching from base to middle, orange red more or less mixed with yellow; inner and outer lines pale with dark edges; a white spot at base on median vein; a white dot represents the orbicular stigma; reniform formed of two black dots; hindwing fuscous, paler at base; ab.

Flowstone
Flowstones are sheetlike deposits of calcite or other carbonate minerals, formed where water flows down the walls or along the floors of a cave. They are typically found in "solution caves", in limestone, where they are the most common speleothem. However, they may form in any type of cave where water enters that has picked up dissolved minerals. Flowstones are formed via the degassing of vadose percolation waters. Flowstone may also form on manmade structures as a result of calcium hydroxide being leached from concrete, lime or mortar. These secondary deposits created outside the cave environment, which mimic the shapes and forms of speleothems, are classified as "calthemites" and are associated with concrete degradation.Smith, G.K., (2016). “Calcite Straw Stalactites Growing From Concrete Structures”, Cave and Karst Science, Vol.43, No.1, P.4-10, (April 2016), British Cave Research Association, ISSN 1356-191X.

Cave Popcorn
Cave popcorn, or coralloids, are small nodes of calcite, aragonite, or gypsum that form on surfaces in caves, especially limestone caves. They are a common type of speleothem. Appearance The individual nodules of cave popcorn range in size from 5 to 20 mm and may be decorated by other speleothems, especially aragonite needles or frostwork. The nodules tend to grow in clusters on bedrock or the sides of other speleothems. These clusters may terminate suddenly in either an upward or downward direction, forming a stratographic layer. When they terminate in a downward direction, they may appear as flat-bottomed formations known as trays. Individual nodes of popcorn can assume a variety of shapes from round to flattened ear-like or button-like shapes. The color of cave popcorn is usually white, but various other colors are possible depending on the composition. Formation Cave popcorn can form by precipitation. Water seeping through limestone walls or splashing onto them leaves ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Speleothem
A speleothem (; ) is a geological formation made by mineral deposits that accumulate over time in natural caves. Speleothems most commonly form in calcareous caves due to carbonate dissolution reactions. They can take a variety of forms, depending on their depositional history and environment. Their chemical composition, gradual growth, and preservation in caves make them useful paleoclimatic proxies. Chemical and physical characteristics More than 300 variations of cave mineral deposits have been identified. The vast majority of speleothems are calcareous, composed of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) minerals (calcite or aragonite). Less commonly, speleothems are made of calcium sulfate ( gypsum or mirabilite) or opal. Speleothems of pure calcium carbonate or calcium sulfate are translucent and colorless. The presence of iron oxide or copper provides a reddish brown color. The presence of manganese oxide can create darker colors such as black or dark brown. Speleothems can also b ...
