From 63 to 98 cm in Section, a light brownish gray clay grades to a gray clay that, in turn, grades in color from a dark gray to very dark greenish gray clay in the interval between Sections and 4. Between the brown calcareous clay and the gray clay, a gray ( 6/), 7-cm-thick pteropod-rich foraminifer sand occurs.
