  We simulate the gravitational dynamics of the conifold geometries (resolved
and deformed) involved in the description of certain compact spacetimes. As the
cycles of the conifold collapse towards a singular geometry we find that a
horizon develops, shielding the external spacetime from the curvature
singularity of the newly formed black hole. The structure of the black hole is
examined for a range of initial conditions, and we find a candidate black-hole
solution for the final state of the collapse.
