The occurrences of giant tests of Lutetian and Bartonian Nummulites from Paleogene Adriatic carbonate platform/s (Pg AdCP) in relation to climatic conditions

Nummulites tests (N. perforatis, N. maximus, N. dufrenoyi) are rarely abraded and toward the top of the succession their tests are getting larger and flatter. Imbrication suggests transport and hydraulic separation of A and B forms (changes in energy condition in area from lower to higher!) during the Bartonian. The structure of biofabrics during Bartonian implies changes in energy within allochthonous assemblages, possible relation to sea-level change in depositional setting.
