摘要：Nummulites with reticulate septal filaments stratigraphically span from the Bartonian to the Rupelian Stages. The size of the proloculus of the megalospheric forms of reticulate species helped recognise N. fabianii – N. fichteli lineage in western Tethys. Unlike the species of this lineage, N. ptukhiani, described from Armenia, is characterised by an unusually large proloculus. A possibly second lineage of reticulate species comprising N. ptukhiani is recently reported from Lutetian – Bartonian succession of Tanzania. The present study examines reticulate species from palaeogeographically adjacent Bartonian succession of Kutch. The statistical analysis of the biometric data suggests the presence of three distinct species, referred to Nummulites ptukhiani, N. aff. hormoensis and N. acutus. The reticulation starts developing in N. acutus that ranges from P13 to P14 in its type locality, Kutch. We infer that Nummulites ptukhiani and N. aff. hormoensis possibly evolved from N. acutus in Zone P14. A binary tree model based on Classification and Regression Tree is proposed to statistically discriminate the three reticulate species.
