    Preliminary Description: 

    The sediment is inhomogeneous with clasts (millimetric to pluricentimetric in length) up to 25 cm. There is a net contact at 25 cm. Laminated sediment (millimetric laminations) with few millimetric and centimetric clasts up to 554 cm. The sediment becomes inhomogeneous with few millimetric and centimetric clasts from 554 up to the bottom.
