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).
