Fossils are a recurring class of collectables in New Horizons. These can be collected by digging up X shapes on the ground with 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 their 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.
