Published: Updated:
This database is now a real lookup starter rather than a pre-release placeholder. It focuses on fields that help players identify bones while keeping uncertain exact counts and every last-bone location out of confirmed copy.
Bone database fields
| Field | How to use it |
|---|---|
| Bone / part name | Use a plain label such as skull dome, wing bone, frill, rib, vertebra, tooth, or unknown. |
| Dinosaur | Match the part to one of the 9 skeletons. |
| Body section | Head, spine, ribs, limb, wing, tail, support, or unknown. |
| Identification clue | Shape, color, texture, size, exhibit context, or placement feedback. |
| Exhibit | Which museum display or nearby area the part belongs to. |
| Confirmed source | Steam, Steam achievement, guide screenshot, personal screenshot, or needs evidence. |
| Confidence | confirmed, community-confirmed, player-note, or needs verification. |
| Last verified | Date the row was checked against a source. |

How to add a row safely
- Name the part only as specifically as the evidence allows.
- Attach it to a dinosaur only when the in-game exhibit, color cue, placement feedback, or source says so.
- Put exact location text in the row only if it comes from a current screenshot, official note, or reliable walkthrough.
- Mark personal notes as player-note until a second source confirms them.
- Keep "unknown" visible rather than hiding fields that are not verified.
Current verification boundary
Steam confirms the game premise, release date, feature support, and achievement framework. Steam achievements confirm some skeleton and completion goals, including all nine skeletons. Community walkthroughs currently supply the practical species list and several unlock clues, so those rows are labeled community-confirmed rather than official.
