The first coral fossil discovered in Romania, dating back 420 million years, is now on display at the National Geological Museum. This fossil, found in the Bucegi Mountains, is part of an exhibition showcasing coral research and conservation efforts. Dr. Jamie Craggs introduced a non-invasive method to study coral reproduction using an ultrasound device, allowing researchers to monitor fertilized eggs without harming the coral. The exhibition features 13 detailed images of corals and offers virtual reality experiences for visitors. The fossil highlights Romania's geological history, indicating that the region was once underwater. The exhibition runs until January 30, 2027.
