Million year old cave found in Southern Arizona

Researchers have been "blown away" by the discovery.

Southern Arizona has a major "new" cave near Vail, one that could be a million years old, with a "scientific treasure trove" that could take decades to explore.


A group of Tucson scientists announced this week that they've spent the past eight years researching in and around a cave they call "La Tetera" - Spanish for "the teapot."

Great discovery, looks like it will be some time until we know all that it contains. I'm intrigued, that is a major find. Please keep us updated.

Caves, especially ones that are 'time capsules'
really stimulate my Alpha Brain waves...

in fact I applied for a resident position when the
Kurtchner Cave was being considered for public
tours/development...(unfortunately an aneurism hemmoraged & took me outta the running)

With, i'm sure, a very long list of qualified applications
to do research in 'the teapot'....the place- alas- will
also deteriorate rather quickly,
just as Kirtchner is doing now...

thanks for the heads up energy_wave

I never ever wanted to return to Arizona, but now I may reconsider. I think it would just be a trip just to stand inside the cave, let alone explore it.
