Dr Mikołaj Zapalski, Faculty of Geology of the University of Warsaw (UW) with a Polish-Australian team of scientists discovered a previously unknown type of Devonian reef, similar to modern coral reefs.

The research was published in the prestigious journal Coral Reefs and describes an unusual, extremely shallow-water Devonian reef dominated by corals.

The reef was discovered in the Australian state of Queensland. It was created by corals with flat, massive and twig colonies that lived in very shallow, silty waters, periodically influenced by strong waves. This is the first described Devonian reef of this type in the world.
