# Fossil Event

### <mark style="color:orange;">**Summary:**</mark>

Embark on an exciting adventure in the **Steel Town Cavern**, where players can dig deep in search of ancient treasures! By participating in excavation mini-games, you’ll have the chance to discover a variety of items, including the **`Unidentified Fossil`**.

This **`Unidentified Fossil`** can be **given to a Pokémon** and then **handed over to the Archeologist** for research. Who knows what kind of rewards you might uncover from their discoveries?

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wiki.cobblemonislands.com/features/events/fossil-event.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
