Dolomites in the Ladinian – Part 3: A biodiversity boom | The return of coral reefs (EN)

During the Middle Triassic (247–237 million years ago), the geological and biological foundations of the Dolomites were established. Fossils found at various sites, even very distant ones (China), show that an important evolutionary event occurred in marine environments worldwide. At that time, the Dolomites represented a true biological “hot spot.” To illustrate these geological and biological events, the Museum Gherdëina redesigned three display cases in the geological and paleontological section. Guide with Andrea Tintori, retired Professor of Paleontology at UNIMI and honorary curator of the Museum Gherdëina.
