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).

- 磁化率（magnetic susceptibility，MS）数据：针对磁化率信号变化的分析共纳入43份取自典型岩相的样品。所有样品均封装至10 cm³的圆柱形有机玻璃（perspex）容器中以开展磁化率分析。低频磁化率（MS）采用Bartington MS2B型探头在0.47 kHz的频率下完成测定。
- 对泥灰岩（marls）开展的冲洗筛分实验结果显示，其化石组分主要由介形类（ostracods）与底栖有孔虫（benthic foraminifera）构成。研究采用扫描显微镜（Scanning Microscope）对不同物种进行微古生物学鉴定。
- 针对22张薄片完成了交代颗粒（allochems）的半定量分析，成功识别出多种骨骼组分。半定量分析所需的生物碎屑（bioclasts）频率数据已汇总于下表（生物碎屑频率数据）。
