They will mark fossil locations for the player to dig up, which are visible in the zoo map view.Īvailable fossils depend on zoo fame level, much like buying an animal. Alternatively, paleontologists be hired to take care of fossil finding. When a fossil piece is detected, several bars will appear in the device, which turn green when the fossil is nearby.
The player must then find fossils using a hand held sonar device.
Once the Extinct Research Lab is present in the zoo, the player will be able to enter the 'fossil finding mode' by clicking on the shovel icon in guest mode.
