How to Use Fossils

1  Ask Blathers to assess fossils.
3  Donate them to the museum.
4  Decorate your island!

1. Ask Blathers to Assess Fossils

Blathers at the Museum
To find out which fossils you collected, you'll need to have Blathers assess your fossil. Chat with him at the museum to find out what you've unearthed

How to Unlock the Museum

2. Donate Fossils to the Museum

Blathers assesses a Fossil
Once the fossil has been identified, you can either choose to donate it, sell it or take it back with you.

We recommend donating the first of every fossil to the Museum, but they do fetch a nice amount of money, so if you're lacking Bells it might be okay to sell them instead.

3. Decorate Your Island

ACNH - T. Rex Full Fossil

Assessed fossils can also be placed as furniture on your island and at home! Give your island a prehistoric look with the many fossils you find.

You can also use an unassesed fossil for the Fossil Doorplate Recipe and Required Materials.

What Happens When You Get All Fossils

ACNH - Blathers Thought Bubble

Once you donate all fossils to the museum, Blathers will congratulate you with the Framed Fossil Poster! He'll also offer you to buy more pieces of the poster.

You'll also get to enjoy the complete exhibit with all the fossils you scavenged. The fossil exhibit is down the stairs to the north of the museum entrance.
