Drill core

Caption

The analyzed drill core (BH8-18/2) from a depth of 100-140 centimeters shows the greenish-gray, fine-grained marine sediments with annual layering. A total of 13 coarse-grained event layers (tempestites, EL36 to 47) stand out clearly due to their white-beige color and distinct composition compared to the fair-weather sediments.
