Table 2. Facies.

Summary of the identified sedimentary facies along the Gabes and Djerba Transects (modified after El Kateb et al., 2018b).

Stations	Facies	Sediments
GBS-01 to -02	G1	Dominant siliciclastic grains (e.g., quartz).
GBS-03	G2	Centimetric concretions of biogenic fragments partially dissolved (e.g., bivalve, bryozoan, foraminifera and coral).
GBS-04 to -06	G3	Carbonate sand and biogenic fragments (bryozoans, bivalves, gastropods and coral)
GBS-07 to -08, GBS-10 to -16	G4	Fine sediment (clay) with centimetric biogenic fragments
GBS-09	G5	Very fine sediments (clay and silt) with rare biogenic fragments.
DJB-01 to -05	D1	Fine siliciclastic grains, Posidonia oceanica meadow
DJB-06 to -08.	D2	Mix of sand and millimetric rounded biogenic poorly preserved fragments
DJB-11 to -15	D3	Well-preserved biogenic fragments of bivalves, calcareous algae, gastropods and bryozoans.
