    Preliminary Description: 

    From 0 up to 360 cm there is an alternation between homogeneous and inhomogeneous sediment. This section of sediment is characterized by gradual variations of density and rare millimetric clasts. The number of clasts increase and the sediment becomes grainsupported between 368 and 386 cm. The sediment is very rich in clasts in the last 235 cm. There is a reverse graded structure between 418 and 428 cm.
