    Preliminary Description: 

    The x-ray is characterized by levels with poor sediment, it appears fragmented and discontinuous. The sediment is not very dense and homogeneous, sometimes uneven. The contacts are irregular. The clasts are present in almost all the core (between 250 and 264 cm there are a lot of clasts) millimetric and centimetric, few pluricentimetric. Millimetric clasts in the last 60 cm.
