    Preliminary Description: 

    Inhomogeneous sediment with weak centimeter laminations (wavy between 45 and 73 cm) and a few clasts. It gradually changes to a more dense and homogeneous sediment, without structures. Below there is alternated denser and less dense sediment with generally gradual steps; at 237 and 240 cm there are two oblique contacts. Towards the bottom increases the number of clasts, but are mostly millimeter and a few centimeter.
