    Preliminary Description: 

    Alternation between dense and less dense sediment characterized by gradual transitions. The sediment is grain supported between 43 and 168 cm and gradually becomes mud supported and is still rich in subcentimetric clasts. There is a denser level with few clasts between 188 and 195 cm delimited by net contacts.
