How fossils work
- Look for star-shaped cracks in the ground: three fossils are buried each day.
- Dig with the shovel and take the fossil to Blathers; he identifies it straight away.
- Donate the first of each, then sell spares to Tom Nook.
- Skeleton parts go together in the fossil rooms as you donate them.
