Fossils are a recurring class of collectables in New Horizons. These can be collected by using a shovel. In New Horizons, the total number of fossils is 73, up from 67 in New Leaf

When donating a fossil, or if the player has an assessed fossil in your inventory, they can ask Blathers to give a "short presentation" on the animal that fossil belongs to. When displayed in the museum, the fossils are now arranged along an evolutionary tree pattern, showing just how far back each fossil is in relation to the others, and the relationships between the animals.
