%X Middle Miocene sediments of the Central Depression have been studied based on foraminifera with a view to characterize palaeoenvironmental conditions. Rock material from HV-5 Rybni ek core were used. Foraminiferal evidence indicates biostratigraphic range of the lower part of the Upper Lagenid Zone (Early Badenian¨CLanghian, Middle Miocene). The sediments originate from a deeper marine basin at the level of outer shelf with potential extension deeper into the bathyal realm. Bottom waters were well-oxygenated with a redox boundary a few centimeters from the sea floor which was colonized by sub- and dysoxic foraminifers. Palaeotemperature of marine water corresponds to the Miocene climatic optimum with short-time climatic oscillations of cooler climate
