    Preliminary Description: 

    Alternation of dense material with less dense material up to 22 cm. Between 22 and 46 cm there are plane parallel laminations (millimeter-centimeter dense laminae, centimeter the less dense). Sediment without structures between 46 and 59 cm. From 59 cm to the core’s bottom are present again parallel laminations, regular up to 146 cm, then become wavy (millimeter centimeter the less dense, the more dense are also pluricentimetric). Signs of drying in the last 100 cm.
