This cave is famous for various speleothems, like stalactites, stalagmites, soda straws, cave bacon and the rare helictites as well fossils of tropical plants and marine life. The developed part of the cave contains nine separate “rooms” or chambers. The largest of these chambers is called the Ballroom, measuring more than 300 feet across 90 feet high.
