three drill bits used to drill gravel and pebbles in a sediment depth of 560 m.

Coring was stopped at 568.92m sediment depth, after we went through coarse gravel and pebbles increasing in size and after four core bits gave up. As there was an overall increase in grain sizes between 420 and 568 mblf we do not assume that there is any chance to find fine grained lacustrine deposits below. It is more likely that we drilled into the initial fillings of the early stage of Lake Ohrid basin.
