    Preliminary Description: 

    Less dense sediment alternated with a denser one up to 95 cm. From 95 cm to 247 cm, the sediment is more dense. Between 30 and 340 cm there are numerous clasts (from millimeter to centimeter). From 247 cm to the core’s bottom the sediment is less dense and grain supported.
