Sedimentary mechanisms and high-resolution stratigraphy of Upper Pleistocene deposits of the eastern coast of Tunisia (Hergla escarpment)

- Magentic susceptibility data: the analysis of magnetic susceptibility (MS) signal variations involved 43 samples from representative facies. Samples were packed into 10 cm3 cylindrical plastic (perspex) pots for MS analysis. The low-frequency magnetic susceptibility (MS) was measured by a Bartington MS2B probe at frequencies of 0.47 kHz.

- the screen washings performed on marls showed that the fossil components were primarilycomposed of ostracods and benthic foraminifera. The micropaleontological determination of the different species using a Scanning Microscope.

- Semi-quantitative analysis of allochems were performed on on 22 thin-sections that revealed various skeletal components. Results of bioclasts frequencies needed for the semi-quantitative analysis are summarized in the table below (Bioclast's frequencies data).
