    Preliminary Description: 

    From 0 up to 130 cm the sediment is dense and coarse separated from the underlying one by an irregular contact. Between 13 and 56 cm the sediment is less dense and becomes denser from 56 up to 120 cm. The whole core is rich in clasts (from  millimetric to centimetric in lenght).
