FOSSIL RECONSTRUCTIONS · ONE MEASUREMENT AT A TIME
Measure the reconstruction, not the movie
Long tails, raised necks and different body plans make prehistoric silhouettes difficult to compare at a glance. Start at the marked endpoints and judge the selected reconstruction against its reference.
Body length follows the dimension named by the entry. Do not substitute shoulder height, mass or the visible height of a posed skeleton for a head-to-tail measurement.
Make a measurement, then test it
- 01 · Read the reference
Find the fixed silhouette and read its number, unit and measurement direction. Decide which endpoints you are comparing before changing the target.
- 02 · Adjust the target
Drag the target or use the ruler controls. A two-finger pinch changes your guess on touchscreens; the zoom buttons change the view. You can also use the plus and minus buttons for smaller adjustments.
- 03 · Reveal and compare
Submit once you are satisfied. The reveal shows the recorded size beside your estimate. Base points depend on the size ratio; round weights turn those points into the run total.
What the label changes
Fossil reconstructions are estimates. The puzzle uses a particular stored size so that a round can be scored consistently; it does not resolve scientific uncertainty about every specimen.
A useful way to practise
Separate the torso from the tail in your first estimate, then compare their combined span with the reference. Review the species and measurement note when a reconstruction looks unfamiliar.
Inspect the objects behind a round
The library lets you search names, filter a theme and inspect measurement notes and source credits. Retired entries remain available to explain older games, but are excluded from new draws. Counts there follow the current catalogue rather than a fixed list in this guide.
Choose your next set
Daily offers five rounds for the selected category and date. Unlimited lets you choose 5, 10, 20 or an endless run; these results are separate from Daily. An endless run can be finished after at least five rounds.
