Abstract: 

Foraminiferal populations consisting of Albian sediments in the western and central parts of North Bulgaria are analysed. On the base of the regularities in the vertical distribution of the species, from the bottom upwards, two zones and four subzones are subdivided and defined: (I) Lingulogavelinelia albiensis albiensis Zone with subzones – (a) Lenticulina turgidula – Lingulogavelinella albiensis albiensis Subzone (Lower Albian); (b) Lenticulina pulchella – Arenobulimina macfadyeni Subzone (Middle Albian); (2) Arenobulimina chapmani Zone with subzones – (a) Lingulogavelinella cibicidoides Tristix excavata Subzone (Upper Albian); (b) Eggerellina mariae Valvulineria praestans Subzone (Upper Albian).

Проанализированы фораминиферовыу сообщества из альбских отложений в западных и центральных частях Северной Болгарии. На основании закономерностей в вертикальном распределении видов (снизу вверх) выделены и определены две зоны и четыре подзоны: (1) Зона Lingulogavelinella albiensis albiensis с подзонами – (а) подзона Lenticulina turgidula - Lingulogavelinella albiensis albiensis (нижний альб); б) подзона Lenticulina pulchella - Arenobulimina macfadyeni (средний альб); (2) Зона Arenobulimina chapmani с подзонами – (а) подзона Lingulogavelinella cibicidoides - Tristix excata (верхний альб); (б) подзона Eggerellina mariae - Valvulineria praestans (верхний альб).
