TABLE 1
Shale content of the different lithologies used on the ArcTem section (see Fig. 3). We assume that the shale fraction is mainly composed of phyllosilicates.

| Shaly MFS | 0.98 |
| Shaly Slope | 0.98 |
| Sandy shelf | 0.5 |
| Shaly shelf | 0.5 |
| Sandy transitional | 0.09 |
| Sandy slope | 0.01 |
| Mobile shale | 0.7 |
| Cretaceouscarb | 0.01 |
| Cretaceous carbshale | 0.7 |
| Paleocene | 0.98 |
