    Preliminary Description: 

    There is a low density sediment with clasts up to 16 cm. The core’s image shows a fracture which in the x-ray is shown as an oblique level of higher density. There are millimetric parallel plane laminations from 16 up to 52 cm. This section is followed by irregular laminations rich in clasts whose length is from millimetric to centimetric. The sediment is homogeneous and rich in clasts (millimetric to pluricentimetric in length; one exceed 11 cm in length) from 62 cm up to the core’s bottom.
