    Preliminary Description: 

    From the top up to 216 cm there is an alternation between less dense and more dense sediment. This section is characterized by gradual changes of density and few clasts (only one is pluricentimetric). The core wasn’t recorded from 264 up to 273 cm. The sediment is rich in clasts from 273 up to the bottom. There is a grain supported level between 410 and 417 cm.
