Lower Cave, overhang just past end of red trail tape where we changed from boots to aqua socks to walk over area of cleaned flowstone. This location is about 1.2 m of the ground on the top side of the overhang you duck under to get to the main trail. Thin black lines in flowstone(?) with spiky, zigzag pattern. Note where several very thin combine into thicker bundles. Leslie Melim flash assistant.

Ibid. Distance shot of two of the black line areas, one at end of tape, other about 14 cm directly above the first. Leslie Melim flash assistant.
