Preliminary Description:
From 0 up to 375 cm alternating dense and less dense areas with rare millimeter/centimeter laminations. Presence of a few millimeter and centimeter clasts. Between 375 and 393 cm the sediment is denser with numerous clasts. The lower and upper contact of this layer is net. Following laminate sediment with less clasts up to 420 cm. Lower contact net. Below 420 cm the sediment is grain-supported, with some levels with clasts.
