The lower Eocene (Ypresian) nummulitic limestones of southern Dobrogea are subject of microfacies analysis in order to reconstruct the paleoenvironments. The studied limestones preserve 3 main microfacies types: packstone, wackestone and floatstone which are abundant in LBF’s. Based on the abundance of the LBF’s and the identified microfacies types, a moderate energy depositional environment located in the central part of a carbonate ramp can be reconstructed.
