Abstract

We describe collapse features, tens up to 100 m in diameter, in the north-central Negev Desert. These affect mainly the upper part of the Judea Group and the Mount Scopus Group layers. These indicate the development of isolated chamber-like karstic voids under hypogenic conditions, probably by long-range groundwater flow during the Oligocene—early Miocene. These had collapsed and affected the overlying layers.
