Natural Site

The Rădmănești fossil site is a nationally protected area classified under IUCN Category IV. It is located in Timiș County (Romania), within the administrative boundaries of Bara commune. The site was discovered in 1870 by geologist and paleontologist Theodor Fuchs, who identified 52 mollusk species within the deposit. Several of these species were found to be extremely rare or even unique, leading to the site's recognition as one of the most significant paleontological deposits in the Pontic Basin.
