    Preliminary Description: 

    Along the whole core there is an alternation between dense and less dense sediment. There are a lot of clasts (from millimetric to centimetric in length) and the sediment becomes grain supported between 28 and 47 cm. There are iso-oriented levels of clasts from 90 to 120 cm.
