The fern fossil (シダのかせき, shidanokaseki?) is a stand-alone fossil that can be donated to the museum in Wild World, City Folk, New Leaf, and collected by Happy Home Handbook in Happy Home Designer.

Donation to the museum[]

In Wild World[]

When the player presents the fern fossil to Blathers at the museum in Wild World, Blathers will reply with the following dialogue.

"Hoo, a marvelous find! This fossil is in absolutely tip-top condition! This piece of fauna had just emerged from the sea when it became preserved. Rather than seeds, it relied on its spores to spread. It resembles moss with leaves! Ah! Terribly sorry, wot? Ancient plants turn me into a veritable hootbox!"

In City Folk[]

When the player shows Blathers the fern fossil in City Folk, Blathers will reply with the following dialogue.

In New Leaf[]

In New Leaf, a plaque by the display offers information about the fossil instead of Blathers.

"Originally, all plants on the planet were actually sea dwelling, but then they eventually spread to land. This fossilized fern is thought to be one of the very first plants to make this move to dry land. Reproducing via spores rather than seeds, it resembles modern ferns, though several yards taller."
