'''Fossils''' are the spoils of excavation — the stone remains you dig out of the ground and hand in to the [[Museum]]. There are three kinds: '''common fossils''' (the bulk crate filler), '''Dig Site Maps''' (the keys that start a dig), and '''species skulls''' (the centrepieces the Museum assembles into skeletons).

== The excavation economy ==

# '''Dig Site Maps''' drop from the world. Spend one at the Excavation panel to open a dig in that biome.
# '''Digs''' yield crates of '''common fossils''' and, prized among them, that biome's '''species skulls'''.
# Hand fossils in at the '''[[Museum]]''': each species skeleton needs its skull plus a bill of commons (a few digs' worth). Completing a biome's wing lights a permanent themed perk.

Common fossils and skulls are also '''sellable''' for [[Amber]] if you have spares.

== Common fossils ==

Six common fossils make up the everyday dig haul. The [[Museum]] demands crates of these to complete skeletons, and deeper (higher-tier) biome skeletons call for the rarer commons.

| Fossil Vertebra || 55

|}

== Dig Site Maps ==

A Dig Site Map is a '''drop-only key''': one exists for every biome, and it cannot be crafted or bought. Spending a map at the Excavation panel starts a dig in that biome. Maps for deeper biomes are worth more, and their digs run at higher tiers with richer fossil yields. There are ten maps, one per biome.

== Species skulls ==

Every creature species has its own '''skull''', surfaced from digs in that species' home biome. Skulls are the [[Museum]]'s assembly keys: each museum skeleton is built from a species' skull plus its bill of common fossils. There is one skull per species (42 in total), and their sell value scales with the biome tier of the species.
