Rexcavate: Fossil Logic Puzzle

The bones are out of the ground. Now they have to fit.

Rexcavate is a calm placement puzzle set on a paleontology dig. Drag the fossil bones from the find tray, turn them, and fit them into the dig pit with no gaps. Finish an expedition and a prehistoric animal comes to life in your own 3D natural history museum.

HOW IT WORKS
• Every dig opens an irregular pit in the ground; the find tray below holds the bones that fill it: skull, pelvis, femur, jaw, vertebra, tail, scapula, rib, claw and tooth
• Drag a bone and let go; it snaps into place when it's close. Tap to turn it 90°
• Bones turn but never flip
• The dig is done when the pit is filled with no gaps. Any layout that fills the pit is correct
• Drop a bone where it doesn't fit and it goes back where it came from: no penalty

25 EXPEDITIONS, 250 DIGS
• Ten digs per expedition; from 3 bones in the first digs to 11 in the last expeditions
• Later on, some bones are found already in place and stay put
• Every dig ends with a short field note about the species
• Finish an expedition and its animal joins your museum

EXPERT DIGS
• Finish a species' expedition to unlock its 10 Expert Digs
• Bigger pits and up to 12 bones: 250 more digs in all

• Each new species appears turning on its pedestal, with its period, length and weight
