Wild World Fossils: All 52 with Prices

Three fossils are buried in town every day, marked by star-shaped cracks in the ground. Dig them up and Blathers identifies them on the spot. 14 skeletons are built from 42 parts, and 10 fossils stand alone.

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.
