Cave Explorers from Primorye Will Explore a Cave in Partizansk district of the Territory

The cave is a unique monument of history

VLADIVOSTOK, June 8, vladivostoktimes.com From June 15 to 18 in Partizansk district of the Primorsky Territory cave explorers from Vladivostok will conduct the research expedition. The way of enthusiasts lies to the mountain range Chandolaz, to the cave-well Bear's fang, called so because of large accumulation of bone sediment on the bottom. Among purposes of the trip are diggings, and also works on search for possible continuation of the cave.

As the Vladivostok city club of cave explorers reported to RIA PrimaMedia, sediments of bones in this cave as of today already pile up to over three meters. Recently fragments of bone remains of bears, various small animals, mainly rodents have been found on the bottom of the well. Age of bones is from present times to 25 thousand years, in the deepest layers of soil.

Cave explorers suppose that Bear's fang is a part of an ancient system of caves. If there is a prospect of continuation of the cave, will be found out during expedition

I imagine archaeologists are very interested in the dig going on in that cave - assuming it is not too horrible to access that is! It is hard to imagine 25,000 years of animal remains in the same place. What caused that? It might be some place they all go to die or it may have been a good place for "cave men" to eat their kills. Very interesting in any event.
