The time resolution of the FADC traces of the Auger SD allows us to explore details of the signal shape. An example is that we can easily identify muons like pulses that stand out in the signals. With further exploration it is possible to find other systematic structures and explore the physics involved. We analyze the occurrence of these structures as fluctuations and evaluate how these structures can be connected to the shower development in the atmosphere.
