Stratigraphy
| Stratigraphy comments: Gomes et al. 2019: This cave is formed by the Neoproterozoic limestones of the Grupo Una (Salitre Formation) which are exposed in the Jacaré River, northeastern border of the sedimentary basin of Irecê (Berbet-Born and Karmann, 2000). |
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | not reported |
| Environment: | terrestrial indet. |
| Glacial or sequence phase: | glacial |
| Geology comments: The faunal list along with earlier references suggest colder and more humid conditions, vegetation different from that of Caatingas (actual vegetation cover), but probably Cerrado. | |
