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 A MUSEUM THAT FILLS UP • 25 realistic 3D models on marble pedestals: rotate and zoom to see them from every angle • T. rex, Triceratops, Velociraptor, Brachiosaurus, Spinosaurus, Ankylosaurus and more, plus the flying Pteranodon, three sea reptiles and a woolly mammoth • Each new species appears turning on its pedestal, with its period, length and weight • Each has an info card: period, size, weight, diet, where it was found, what its name means and one surprising fact.
