Archaeology

Archaeology is a custom enchantment that can be bought from Toolsmith or Beastmaster shopkeepers. By breaking stone or deepslate, you may find Ancient Shale or Relic Shards. The cooldown on this chance goes down with each successive level of Archaeologist on the tool, and starts at around 5 minutes.

Basics
Having Archaeologist on a pickaxe or a shovel enables players to collect Ancient Shale and Relic Shards when mining Stone, Cobblestone, Deepslate, or Cobbled Deepslate. Ancient Shale resolves into Fossil Parts, and Relic Shards resolve into Relic Parts. Ten pieces of Ancient Shale are needed to get one Fossil Part, and 5 Relic Shards are needed to get one Relic Part.

Fossil Size
There are four known fossil sizes: Small, Medium, Large, and Huge. Medium, Large, and Huge fossils award SoxBux upon completion; Small fossils do not.

Relics
In addition to Fossils, there are relics obtained from Relic Shards. Known relics include:

Pets
Some pets are also available through by using a Spark of Life on certain fossils. There are two known Archaeology-specific pets, which involve using a Spark of Life on a Compsognathus or an Amber Dragonfly fossil.
