    Preliminary Description: 

    In the x-ray the sediment is initially barely visible. The sediment’s density increases up to 45 cm and decreases again below this point. There is an irregular contact between 58 and 60 cm, followed by less dense levels rich in clasts (millimetric to pluricentimetric in length).
