The presented study is aimed at the Badenian oysters from the Carpathian Foredeep in Moravia, Czech Republic, deposited in collections of the Regional Museum (Vlastivědné Muzeum) in Olomouc (VMO), and Muzeum Prostějovska in Prostějov (MPP). The analysed samples come from 23 localities in Olomouc and Brno regions, the most important being Hluchov, Laškov, Luleč, Myslejovice, Přemyslovice, and the historical Slatinky. We made the systematic revision of the species reviewing the old nomenclature; first time for all the oyster samples in Moravian collections after several discontinuous works through time. The original ~22 species with old nomenclature have been revised to 4 species: Crassostrea gryphoides (Schlotheim, 1813), Hyotissa hyotis (Linné, 1758), Neopycnodonte navicularis (Brocchi, 1814), and Ostrea digitalina (Dubois, 1831).
