Sharp transtion into dark grey stiff clay unit CLAYU Dark grey stiff homogenous clay unit. Scaly microfracture polygonal exfoliation which develops into a consistent 55TCA bedding cleavage in last 1m of unit. Embedded 30% clay supported 3-50mm predominantly subrounded light grey heterolithic gravel in uppermost 8.85m. Embedded 25% clay supported black 2-40mm angular to subrouded basaltic heterolithic gravel in last 0.68m of unit. Sharp transition into unconsolidated basal till interval with mostly black basaltic gravelly sand/silty sand with heterolithic size pebbles/gravel TILB Basal till interval with poorly consolidated (mostly black) also lightdark grey-orange-brown gravelly sand/silty sand with heterolithic size pebbles/gravel. ~60% coarse grained black sand. 35% black-grey 2-30mm subrounded heterolithic gravel. 5% black silty-sand.

Sharp transition into fairly homogeneous black sandy/silt till which exhibits poor cohesion with little clay cementation. Minor amounts of 2-5mm black-grey-brown heterolithic gravel SILTU Fairly homogeneous black basalt framework supported silty-sand till which exhibits poor cohesion due to absence of clay cementation. Most core recovery exhibits slumping of sediments with occasional 20cm intervals of weakly cohesive sand/silt. 80% subrounded-angular fine-grained to coarse grained sand. 10% 2-5mm black-grey-brown heterolithic gravel. 10% silt/clay. Sharp transition into stiff-very stiff cohesive homogeneous black clay unit CLAYU stiff-very stiff cohesive homogeneous black clay unit. No heterolithic embedded sediments. Moderately spaced dominant 55TCA bedding cleavage occurring every ~5cm. Transition into pooly consolidated black-brown-grey fine-coarse grained sand and gravel TILB Very poorly consolidated black-greybrown heterolithic fragments from coarse grained sand/gravel with little clay cemetation. 60% 2-30mm angular-subrounded black-brown-grey gravel. 35% fine-coarse grained sand. 5% silt/clay.
