ALIEN FIELD MISSION // EARTH PALEO-RECONNAISSANCE
Recover the species Earth forgot.
You are an alien field scientist sent to determine what once lived on Earth. Excavate realistic fossils, reconstruct fractured specimens, read geological evidence, and assemble an unlabeled skeleton before the archive judges your hypothesis.
Recover the evidence
Choose safe brushes or faster rock picks while protecting fossil integrity.
Read every fracture
Align unlabeled fragments, scan seam continuity, and stabilize them with consolidant.
Think like a paleontologist
Use sediment, teeth, limb proportions, and formation age to identify the animal.
Reach 80% confidence
Placement, rotation, field care, and alien hypotheses combine into the final score.

FOUR EXPEDITIONS // INCREASING COMPLEXITY
Choose your fossil formation
What makes it educational: the fossils have no labels and no correctness glow. Players must compare contours, proportions, articulation, and geological context—then commit to a reconstruction and hypothesis.
