“…Cylindrical pipes, which cut enclosing stratified host rock to great depths, mark the injection of water and/or sand slurries from below by over-pressurized water or gasses (Gableman, 1955;Phoenix, 1958;Allen, 1961;Schlee, 1963;Megrue and Kerr, 1965;Lowe, 1975;Hannum, 1980;Guhman and Pederson, 1992;Collinson, 1994;Baer and Steed, 2000;Dionne and Perez Alberti, 2000). High pressures may have been caused by overburden pressure, perhaps amplified or triggered by seismic vibrations associated with faulting, volcanism, or meteoric impact (Jones, 1972;Horowitz, 1982;Glennie and Bullar, 1983;Allen, 1986;Alvarez et al, 1998;Galli, 2000).…”

“…Vertical, cylindrical structures in sandstone have commonly been attributed to upwelling of ground water (e.g. Hawley & Hart 1934;Gabelman 1955;Dionne 1973a;Gangloff 1974;Deynoux et al 1990;Dionne & Pérez Alberti 2000;Massari et al 2001;Kaleris et al 2002), although their occurrence together with spring pits has only recently been demonstrated (Draganits et al in press). Guhman & Pederson (1992) suggest cylindrical fluidization pipes up to 10 m in diameter and up to 44 m in depth below active boiling sand springs in Nebraska, whilst Christiansen et al (1982) and Bluemle (1993) described a vertical fluidization pipe, some 50 m in diameter and at least 138 m deep, below the circular Lake Howe in Saskatchewan.…”

“…Most of the cylindrical structures and/or spring pits mentioned in the literature have been found at the transition of marine/limnic/fluviatile and terrestrial environments, where high water saturation occurs and water-table variations are frequent (Quirke 1930;Hawley & Hart 1934;Gabelman 1955;Dionne 1973a;Plint 1983;Deynoux et al 1990;Guhman & Pederson 1992;Massari et al 2001;Draganits et al in press). The subaqueous spring pits, close to the shore of the pond in the Lingti Valley, further strengthen this observation.…”

2003 (June): Subaqueous artesian springs and associated spring pits in a Himalayan pond. Boreas, Vol. 32, pp. 436-442. Oslo. ISSN 0300-9483.Subaqueous, bowl-shaped depressions found in a Himalayan pond formed in an abandoned river channel in the Lingti Valley (Spiti, NW India) are spring pits (Quirke 1930). The occurrence of the spring pits is restricted to the western end of the pond, where coarse-grained, highly permeable alluvial fan material continues below lacustrine mud deposits. The spring pits formed by active vertical discharge of ground water from an underlying artesian alluvial fan aquifer, confined by the overlying fine-grained lacustrine sediments. The aquifer is continuously recharged by down-slope ground-water flow in the alluvial fan. These small artesian springs are comparable with much larger artesian springs described in the literature and a similar mechanism of formation is proposed. Some similarities in their shapes and mechanisms of formation may indicate that spring pits represent small, nearshore examples of pockmarks. The differences of these features, formed by persistent fluidization from short-lived seismic liquefaction processes, are discussed and the utility of the structures for palaeo-environmental and palaeoground-water interpretation is evaluated.

RésuméCette note signale pour la première fois l'existence de structures cylindriques verticales dans un dépôt quaternaire, en Espagne. Les deux structures observées se trouvent dans un dépôt limonosableux dans une vallée près de la frontière entre la Galice et la Castille-León, au NO de la péninsule ibérique. La structure principale mesure plus de 225 cm de hauteur, 15 cm de largeur à la base, 20-25 cm à la partie centrale et une quarantaine de centimètres au sommet. Le tiers inférieur est essentiellement sableux et caractérisé par des couches circulaires. La section centrale comprend deux cônes superposés et partiellement emboîtés, remplis de petit gravier sableux, alors que le tiers supérieur de la structure verticale, qui pénètre dans un dépôt de rudites, est essentiellement grossier. Les deux structures cylindriques verticales sont attribuées à des sources ascendantes créées par la pression hydrologique dans le dépôt glacio-lacustre lors de la mise en place de la nappe alluviale d'origine fluvio-glaciaire. Les structures sont vraisemblablement contemporaines de la formation de la nappe alluviale.
