Abstract
At the end of Member 2 times, remnant mammillary-form stalactites in the roof and wall contacts show that an irregular wedge-shaped space existed from the Classic Section out to the Cone area. It was into this space that hyenas and other denning animals were able to gain access from an as yet unfilled Cone area. During the mining operations of the 1920’s, Eitzman (1958) recollects entering an impressive bone breccia resembling a charnel house. We suggest that it is most probable that the Grey Breccia corresponds to his main breccia as only the area on top of Member 2, between the dolomite walls, roof and stalagmite boss has the required volume. It also lies at the end of an incline first dug by the miners, (still in existence), and at the end of which he was able to note some of the deposits. The bone breccias at the same level at the back of the Cone suggest that other dens were created at about this time.
