PLATE 18 HYPOGENIC MORPHOLOGY OF COFFEE CAVE<br />
Plate 18. Hypogenic morphology in Coffee Cave, NM, USA: Outlet features (photos and compilation by K.Stafford, from Stafford et al.,<br />
2008). Black scale bars in figures are all approximately 0.5 m. A = series of typical ceiling cupolas (camera angle is ~60° up from horizontal,<br />
looking toward the ceiling); B = series of cupolas that are in the process of coalescing (camera angle is ~70° up from horizontal, looking<br />
toward the ceiling); C = ceiling channel formed by complete coalescing of serial cupolas (camera angle is ~30° up from horizontal, looking<br />
toward the ceiling); D = complete hypogenic morphologic suite showing riser (white arrow), wall channel (yellow dashed lines), and ceiling<br />
cupola (yellow arrow) (camera angle is roughly horizontal); E = rift-like passage showing linear feeder (yellow arrow), triangular passage and<br />
upper dolomite bed that has partially collapsed due to loss of buoyant support (white arrow) (camera angle is roughly horizontal). Photo B (by<br />
A. Klimchouk) is from Fuchslabyrinth Cave, Baden-Würtenberg, Germany, instead of Coffee Cave, in order to well-illustrate the intermediate<br />
stage of cupola coalescence.<br />
