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. 43.9 52.0 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.
