Fossil Mining

As of Legacy of the Dragonborn V6, Fossil Mining has been fully integrated and SHOULD NOT be installed with V6 or any later versions.

This mod was co-created by icecreamassassin, creator of Legacy of the Dragonborn, and aviform, who you will probably subconsciously connect with cheese at some point. Now included in Legacy of the Dragonborn!

It adds 164 fossils that you can find randomly while mining, in tiers of rarity, to make mining more interesting and more profitable. You can even add the fossils you collect to your Legacy of the Dragonborn museum if using it and get fossils from archeology excavations as well! (patch required)

Adds the most commonly found fossils irl. This is the most common tier of fossils you'll find, ones that any beginner can find easily. This tier includes smaller, more indistinct fossils, such as bone and eggshell fragments and pieces of fossilized coral.

Adds fossils a beginner would have trouble finding on their own, but could easily find sold at a fair price. This tier includes fossilized shells, amber, trilobites and more.

Adds fossils a beginner almost certainly wouldn't find, and would have difficulty finding for sale at an affordable price (unless they're faked!) This tier includes fossilized eggs, skulls, claws, teeth, and more.

This tier is the rarest, comprised of fossils that would be (and are, since they're based on real fossils) considered national treasures if found, and includes large, distinct, unique fossils, such as an entire nest, the well-known Fighting Dinosaurs fossil (here named Fighting Saurians, along with many other renamed fossils, so as to not conflict with lore) and more. You will likely need to mine every ore in vanilla Skyrim for a shot at finding all of these rare fossils.

In the geodes found in Blackreach and gem deposits of Solstheim, you may find extra rare crystallized fossils among the normal possibilities. These fossils were crystallized over time and can only be found in geodes.

Meet Darnette Lauven, the Merethic paleontologist! Darnette can be found digging around the Eastmarch sulfuric pools in search of fossils or at her nearby camp where she will buy/sell/trade fossils you may have discovered. She also offers a new trade up system to cash in 5 fossils of a lower tier for a new fossil of the next tier up, enhancing the chances of getting those hard to find fossils!
