    Preliminary Description: 

    The whole core is characterized by a dense sediment and rich in clasts (millimetric to pluricentimetric in length). There is a net contact at 5 cm followed by a dense inhomogeneous sediment with pluricentimetric clasts. There is an irregular contact at 12 cm. The sediment is homogeneous without clasts up to 16,5 cm. Homogeneous sediment rich in clasts (from millimetric to pluricentimetric in length) up to the bottom.
