Dialogue[]

Primary Condition	Guaranteed Dialogue
First Interaction	[NPC] Dr. Stone: Hello! I am Dr. Stone, a prominent Paleontologist from lands afar. [NPC] Dr Stone: I've been able to set myself up down here for a short while in search of rare Fossils. I know the risks of doing so, but I just love research! [NPC] Dr Stone: I'm always on the lookout for Suspicious Scraps when I'm mining around in Glacite Mineshafts, which I sometimes find when in the Glacite Tunnels. [NPC] Dr Stone: If you ever find a scrap when mining in a mineshaft, simply put it in the Fossil Excavator over there! [NPC] Dr Stone: Sometimes you'll find little treasures, and sometimes you'll find an entire fossil! If you do find a fossil, show it to me! [NPC] Dr Stone: If you donate a fossil to me, I'll show you how to turn it into a pet! That way, if you ever find another, you can keep it! [NPC] Dr Stone: Here, take this Chisel. Now you just need a Suspicious Scrap! [NPC] Dr Stone: Looks like that odd fellow over by the campfire might know a thing or two about getting them...
Donating a Fossil	[NPC] Dr. Stone: I've been after that one for ages.
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: I've never seen one of these before!
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: This one is a rare find!
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: What a beauty!
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: What a remarkable discovery!
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: I can't believe you found this!
Interacting with an empty display case	[NPC] Dr. Stone: This display case is empty. If you bring me a fossil, I'd be happy to display it and tell you about it.
Interacting with a Helix Fossil	[NPC] Dr. Stone: It's so small, but it's a Helix Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: That thing is 100% Ammonite! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Don't let their cute looks fool you, those things were predators! [NPC] Dr. Stone: If you're a slow-moving animal on the sea floor, these guys would have been your enemies.
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: Ooh, you like the look of the Helix Fossil? [NPC] Dr. Stone: That's a very fossilized Ammonite, still completely intact! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Once upon a time, there were thousands of different species of Ammonite, and they were plentiful in numbers. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Today... not so much.
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: Something just feels special about the Helix Fossil. [NPC] Dr. Stone: It's actually a well-preserved Ammonite from long ago. [NPC] Dr. Stone: While this one is pretty small, the largest known fossils of this variety are massive!
Interacting with an Ugly Fossil	[NPC] Dr. Stone: That thing looks gross. It's surely an Ugly Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Whatever Goblin that belonged to was pretty nasty-looking, even for a Goblin. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Goblins don't really think for themselves most of the time, and prefer to blindly follow the herd. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Kind of like the people over in the Hub when it comes to voting for a Mayor...
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: Ew! That's definitely an Ugly Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Looks like it belonged to an especially ugly Goblin. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Goblins are plentiful in other areas of the mines, but I'm yet to find any down here. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Maybe it got lost many years ago and ended up down here?
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: That in front of you is an Ugly Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Yeah, that name was the best we could come up with... [NPC] Dr. Stone: It's a skull that once belonged to a particularly deformed-looking Goblin. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Just looking at it is giving me the heebie-jeebies, let's move on!
Interacting with a Claw Fossil	[NPC] Dr. Stone: That Claw Fossil looks pretty daunting... [NPC] Dr. Stone: That was once attached to a Mole. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Those guys are solitary creatures and quite territorial, so you don't normally see them about.
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: That Claw Fossil looks real menacing with those sharp claws... [NPC] Dr. Stone: But it becomes a bit less scary when you realize it came from a Mole. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Those little guys actually only live for a few years, which is kinda sad...
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: Pretty sharp, huh? That's the Claw Fossil for you. [NPC] Dr. Stone: That was once attached to a Mole. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Those things are actually insectivores and love digging tunnels. [NPC] Dr. Stone: When they dig, they move their arms in an outward motion, like a human swimming in breaststroke!
Interacting with a Tusk Fossil	[NPC] Dr. Stone: That Tusk Fossil looks absolutely amazing. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Mammoths had two of these, and used them to fend off predators. [NPC] Dr. Stone: They also used them to fight each other over territory and gather food!
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: That thing there is a Tusk Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: That thing was once attached to a Mammoth , believe or not. [NPC] Dr. Stone: While people often think Mammoths were huge, they were actually around the size of your average modern-day elephant. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Though it's not like that fact makes their tusks any less intimidating...
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: Look how awesome! The Tusk Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: I wish I could see the Mammoth it belonged to. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Though they look pretty scary, these guys mostly ate vegetation. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Still, if you ever saw one you'd probably want to keep out of its way...
Interacting with a Webbed Fossil	[NPC] Dr. Stone: That in front of you is a Webbed Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: It belonged to a particularly resilient Penguin. [NPC] Dr. Stone: While on land, a group of penguins is called a waddle. [NPC] Dr. Stone: But, if they're in the water, they're instead referred to by researchers as a raft! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Which one do you like more?
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: Aw! That little fella is a Webbed Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: It's all that remains of whatever little Penguin once lived around here. [NPC] Dr. Stone: The black-and-white look of most penguins is actually a form of camouflage. [NPC] Dr. Stone: When they're swimming, predators looking from above see the black on their backs, which camouflages with the water. [NPC] Dr. Stone: And, to predators below, their white underbelly blends in with the light shining down on the water from above!
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: Ooh! One of my favorites! The Webbed Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Believe it or not, that once belonged to a Penguin! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Most bird species evolve with hollow bones, to help them stay light when flying. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Penguins, however, have solid bones, which help them float when in the water.
Interacting with a Clubbed Fossil	[NPC] Dr. Stone: The Clubbed Fossil is quite majestic, I've never seen another tail like it. [NPC] Dr. Stone: It belonged to an Ankylosaurus. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Though this dino was covered in strong plating that would usually make it impervious to predators, it had a soft underbelly. [NPC] Dr. Stone: So, it was an easy meal... if you could roll it over first, and that thing weighed more than a dwarven forge!
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: This one here looks a little strange, but is the Clubbed Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: It was once a tail belonging to an Ankylosaurus. [NPC] Dr. Stone: The Ankylosaurus was a herbivore, but it lived at the same time as the T-Rex. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Though, if you have to live at the same time as a bloodthirsty predator like the T-Rex, it probably would help to have an armored body and bone-shatteringly strong tail.
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: Ah, the Clubbed Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: That thing was once attached to the rear of an Ankylosaurus. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Those things were pretty much walking fortresses - completely covered in bony deposits known as osteoderms that protected them from predators. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Today, you'll see similar armor-like osteoderms on Crocodiles and Armadillos.
Interacting with a Footprint Fossil	[NPC] Dr. Stone: That there is a Footprint Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Once upon a time, it belonged to a ferocious T-Rex! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Those boys were bad news - they would take a bite out of anything! [NPC] Dr. Stone: There's even evidence to suggest that they would sometimes eat each other!
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: Believe it or not, but that's a Footprint Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: It looks to have belonged to the legendary T-Rex! [NPC] Dr. Stone: The T-Rex is made fun of for its comparatively small arms, but they were still over three feet long! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Some other carnivores also had even stubbier little arms, so I guess there's that...
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: That looks like a Footprint Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: That bad boy once belonged to the T-Rex! [NPC] Dr. Stone: The T-Rex actually had a brain twice as large as most other carnivores. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Some researchers believe it was smart enough to set traps for its prey, and actually functioned as an ambush predator.
Interacting with a Spine Fossil	[NPC] Dr. Stone: A Spine Fossil! This one's pretty rare. [NPC] Dr. Stone: It was once part of a particularly interesting creature called the Spinosaurus. [NPC] Dr. Stone: This dinosaur is actually really controversial, as fossils make it hard to tell how it truly behaved. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Did it spend most of its time hunting on land, or was it more of an aquatic forager? [NPC] Dr. Stone: Either way, it's pretty funny. With every new discovery, the Spinosaurus loses a bit more of its mystique. [NPC] Dr. Stone: I can't believe Paleontologists are nerfing dinosaurs now.
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: The Spine Fossil! Now, this one is really cool! [NPC] Dr. Stone: This was once attached to the back of the Spinosaurus. [NPC] Dr. Stone: The Spinosaurus was not only a carnivore, but also one of the few dinosaurs to be an adept swimmer. [NPC] Dr. Stone: What I'm saying is that, no matter where you ran, it would probably follow. Nice.
	[NPC] Dr. Stone: That in front of you is a Spine Fossil! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Many, many, many years ago, it would have belonged to one Spinosaurus. [NPC] Dr. Stone: Fun fact, the T-Rex isn't actually the heaviest carnivorous dinosaur known to researchers! [NPC] Dr. Stone: That title actually goes to this fella, who was one BIG BOY!
After donating every type of Fossils	[NPC] Dr. Stone: Wow! Looks like you've found every type of fossil around! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Maybe we'll find more together in the future, but for now my work here is done! [NPC] Dr. Stone: Please, take these rewards. It's the least I can do! [NPC] Dr. Stone: I think I'll stick around for a little longer, and then it's onto my next adventure!
