    Preliminary Description: 

    The sediment is dense with subcentimetric clasts up to 30 cm. This section is followed by laminated sediment with mainly subcentimetric clasts up to 63 cm. The sediment appears inhomogeneous from 63 to 110 cm and becomes homogeneous and rich in clasts (millimetric to centimetric in lenght) from 110 cm up to the core’s bottom.
