That big room, Muñeca Fea, is not a new discovery. The cave it is in is called Tlamanictli and t was found by a Belgian expedition back in 1999. They reported then that they had found a huge room, but because of limited lighting they didn't know how big. Laser scanning provided its true dimensions this year.

When I moved to TX the fall of 1972 I was able to join Blake and Watson and others for the exploration and survey of Precipicio west of Bustamante.. Another huge room, plus for awhile it made the 20 deepest in Mexico, a little under 1,000 ft. deep.
