Preliminary Description:
The core is composed of inhomogeneous sediment with gradual passages from dense sediment to less dense one with two net contacts at 10 and 12 cm. There are a lot of millimetric clasts, few ones are centimetric. There are laminations caused by the reduced amount of sediment between 98 e 176 cm.
