“…The morphologic changes that affect the Bolivinoides lineage are expressed by the following: (1) a progressive increase in test size, (2) the evolution from "cudgelshaped" (Dubicka and Peryt, 2016) to rhomboidal outline, (3) the development of two parallel rows of tubercles in the median part of the test, and (4) an increase in the number of lobes. These evolutionary trends observed in Bolivinoides taxa seem to be similar worldwide, as reported in NW Australia (Edgell, 1954), Palestine (Reiss, 1954), SW Russia (Vasilenko, 1961;Benyamovsky et al, 2012), NW Germany (Hiltermann and Koch, 1950;Hiltermann, 1963), Trinidad (Beckmann and Koch, 1964;Bolli et al, 1994), England (Barr, 1966), Libya (Barr, 1970), the SE of the USA (Petters, 1977), the western Atlantic (Olsson, 1977), Egypt (El-Nady, 2006;Anan, 2011aAnan, , 2011bAnan, , 2017, Iraq (Jaff et al, 2014;Jaff, 2015), and Poland and western Ukraine (Dubicka and Peryt, 2012aDubicka et al, 2015;Peryt and Dubicka, 2015). These distinct evolutionary trends are specifically constrained between the Santonian and Maastrichtian, and this consistency has allowed use of the group in refined biozonation (Salaj, 1980;Odin, 2001Odin, , 2002Tronchetti, 2001;Robaszynski, 2006).…”
