Expression utilisée par J. CVIJIC pour désigner des cavités superficielles creusées dans les calcaires et comblées de matériaux meubles : elles ne se révèlent que dans les carrières et les tranchées de route où on les voit en coupe; le terme anglais «sandpipe» correspond à peu près au même phénomène qui paraît dû à la dissolution du calcaire sous couverture résiduelle. On pourrait aussi envisager, dans leur formation et leur fossilisation, la substitution, au CO3Ca disparu, de dépôts argileux allogènes. 1, record 1, French, - orgue%20g%C3%A9ologique
