The Prehistoric Cave at Azé (France) was divided in two parts by calcite flowstone. This isolated the innermost parts of the cave from the entrance, which remained connected to the surface. Since the closure, bats have not been able to access the cave beyond the flowstone blockage. They have been present only in the cave entrance. The byproducts released by bats had a considerable effect on this entrance part. Gaseous exhalations have changed the composition of the surrounding atmosphere, leading to the development of dome-shaped cupolas and other wall weathering features. Guano deposits built up causing the formation of aerosols and acidic leachates. The resulting corrosion of the limestone has led to the formation of phosphate deposits and biogenic karst. The rate of retreat of the cave walls has been estimated at 5 to 7 mm/ka. Corrosion has also affected archaeological artefacts, as well as any traces left on the walls by humans or animals. Bioglyphs linked to bears as well as anthropic graffiti have completely disappeared from the part of the cave used by bats.
