3.5 kHz pinger seismic line across the drill site with spliced core data (lithology and density profile of composite section; for explanations of colors and units, see Fig. 3). Core-to-seismic correlation was achieved assuming a Vp of 1400 m/s resulting in the best fit between seismic reflections and prominent density peaks. Note the lateral seismic-stratigraphic coincidence of the postulated Flimser Bergsturz layer with the green reflection (green M) and the top of Stratigraphic Unit 2 (mud-clast conglomerate) with the mass movement (blue mm) at the tope-of-slope towards the NE (light blue horizons M). Other colored horizons indicate prominent reflections. Also note reduced penetration of the acoustic signal into Unit 3 with only few traces of reflections indicating irregular and mostly NW-dipping structures. The vertical scale is in two-way travel time [s], the horizontal axis is given in number of seismic traces with a ~ 1.6 m spacing
