T045 MESOZOIC SEDIMENTARY RECORD OF SOUTHERN TUNISIA AND SEA-LEVEL CHANGE: THE LATE CALLOVIAN GHOMRASSEN CARBONATE PLATFORM Summary 1 Throughout the Saharan Platform of southern Tunisia Mesozoic deposits are mainly composed of siliciclastic and/or evaporitic series including at least six major shallow marine carbonate platform sediments. Our attempt to calibrate these carbonate platforms episods to the published Haq et al. (1987) Exxon eustatic curve indicate that they correspond mainly to the major highest eustatic pulses which have flooded the Saharan Platform where local tectonism was of little effect on the nature and geometry of sediments during the Mesozoic. These transgressive events
