    Preliminary Description: 

    Between 0 and 143 cm the sediment is coarse and inhomogeneous with few clasts. This portion is separated from the underside by an irregular contact, followed by a grain supported sediment up to 266 cm. Net contact. The sediment is less dense with a few subcentimetric clasts and three pluricentimetric ones up to the bottom.
