Correlation of Middle Jurassic (Bajocian-Lower Bathonian, ?Callovian) limestone megabreccia unit presented herein, with previously studied Slovenian Basin sections: Dešna section of the Škofja Loka area (described in Rožič et al. 2015) sedimented in marginal part of the Slovenian Basin marked by erosion and sediment by-pass, Podbrdo section (selected as most representative for limestone megabreccia and combined with data from Rožič et al. 2014b) is characterized by thickest and coarsest limestone megabreccia that sedimented at toe-of-slope environment and originated from collapses of the fault-dissected platform margin and slope areas. Towards the inner parts of the Slovenian Basin resedimented limestones become laterally discontinuous, decrease in thickness and coarseness, and calcidebrites are replaced by calciturbidites (Poljubinj, Zakojška grapa and Zapoškar sections). In the central part of the Slovenian Basin, they become sporadic (Perbla section) and completely disappear in the northern part (Javor section), where resedimentation events are presumably connected with synsedimentary slumps within radiolarian cherts
