Ore Levels

Fossil Ore Locations

Fossil Ores are found underground at specific Y-levels depending on their geological era. Mine them to obtain Deposits, Amber, and other materials that can be analyzed for DNA.

Drop percentages are based on testing samples of 64 blocks per ore type. Results may vary.
