    Preliminary Description: 

    Homogeneous dense sediment up to 20 cm. From 20 to 412 cm the sediment presents parallel laminae with uneven thickness (from millimeter to centimeter); lamination becomes weak below 300 cm. The lower contact is nuanced. From 412 cm to the bottom the sediment is grain-supported and more dense with a less dense lamina between 436 and 439 cm.
