    Preliminary Description: 

    Sediment less dense between 0 and 8 cm. Contact blended with the underlying sediment inhomogeneous, alternating with levels with scattered clasts and levels with rare/absent ones. Net lower contact. Between 284 and 351 cm: sediment with centimeter wavy laminae parallel. Contact net with underlying sediment denser containing many clasts. Contact net to 416 cm. The core’s bottom is characterized by homogeneous sediment, without clasts.
