About Fossil Dig
Fossil Dig turns children into paleontologists. At each dig site, sparkles show where fossils lie under the dirt, and darker squares are deeper. The brush removes one layer and is always safe; the pick removes two at once, so it is only safe on the deepest dirt, with the brush finishing the last layer. There are just enough taps for careful diggers, and a pick in the wrong place cracks the fossil.
Every fossil found goes into the museum, ordered from oldest to youngest: a trilobite from about 500 million years ago, a fern from the coal swamps, an ammonite, a dinosaur footprint and leg bone, a fossil fish, a megalodon tooth and a woolly mammoth tusk from the last Ice Age, each with a short fact.
Which is older? teaches the basic rule geologists use to date rocks: layers pile up over time, so lower layers are usually older. A robot checked that every dig site can be finished with all fossils in one piece.
