Seeking to complete a newly unlocked rare artifact? Then this post is for you!

There are five rare Fossil artifacts:

Panzer einer ausgestorbenen Schildkröte requiring 150 fragments (my 42nd Fossil solve)
Fossiler Raptor requiring 100 fragments (my 21st Fossil solve)
Pterrordaxjunges requiring 120 fragments (my 30th Fossil solve)
Uralter Bernstein requiring 100 fragments (my 7th Fossil solve)
Fossiles Jungtier requiring 85 fragments (my 15th Fossil solve)

Note: There are NO keystones available for Fossil archaeological solves

While I may not have solved all 32 archaeological rares (I have 20 thus far), after hundreds of hours dedicated to the cause I can say this - there is a method to the madness! And I say madness because archaeology is one profession that should not be taken lightly. Get ready to dig... Lots.

When you arrive at a dig site, take a look around you. The surrounding mobs will generally be the best indication of what kind of archaeological finds you may uncover while surveying there. If you're surrounded by ogres, or something less obvious, then consider what the local settlements are predominantly comprised of, or who the local lore is related to.

In the Hinterlands or STV you'll be surrounded by throngs of trolls - and whadya know, the Troll Archaeology Finds go hand in hand. Wetlands, Badlands and Burning Steppes are all known for their dwarven dwellings - and similarly, so are most the archaeological finds. If animals dominate the land, then appropriately you will often find fossils.

Archaeologically speaking, the Night Elves thoroughly dominate Kalimdor, Dwarves and Trolls the Eastern Kingdoms, and Fossils neatly scattered across both. Outlands are only for the Orcs and Draenei archaeological finds. While Northrend is proving most interesting with Night Elvish and Troll Fragments popping up in addition to the expected Nerubian and Vrykul Fragments. For anything Tol'Vir, it's all in Uldum and Uldum alone (will update if this changes). Unfortunately, dig site spawn locations in Uldum share the same continent as Kalimdor - maximum total of four. This means you're gonna have to keep digging Fossil & Night Elf Frags (among others) all over Kalimdor in order to possibly have the Uldum dig sites spawn. Stay tuned!

There are always exceptions to every rule, but you'll find by and large that the above theory holds true. For those of you seeking dig site locations only, see below.

Fossil Archaeology Fragments in the following dig site locations (revised and updated 16/02/12):

Eastern Kingdoms

Blasted Lands - Red Reaches, Dreadmaul Post
Burning Steppes - Valley of Ashes (south of Slither Rock)
Duskwood - Vul'gor Ogre Mound
Eastern Plaguelands - Infectis Scar
Hillsbrad Foothills - along the river
Northern Stranglethorn - just north of Grom'Gol Base Camp
Redridge Mountains - Lakeridge Highway
Swamp of Sorrows - along the south-eastern coast line
Western Plaguelands - Felstone Field, Northridge Lumber Camp, Andorhal Fossil Bank (south-west of Andorhal)
Wetlands - Mosshide Fen

Kalimdor

Desolace - Valley of Bones, Kodo Graveyard, Valley of Spears (at the eastern exit)
Dustwallow Marsh - south of Direhorn Post, Wyrmbog, Dragonmurk, Quagmire
Stonetalon Mountains - Unearthed Grounds
Southern Barrens - Fields of Blood
Tanaris - between Gadgetzan and Dunemaul Compound, north of Southmoon Ruins
Un'Goro Crater - Lakkari Tar Pits, south-east of Marshal's Stand, Terror Run, The Screaming Reaches, The Slithering Scar

Troll Archaeology Fragments
Dwarf Archaeology Fragments
Night Elf Archaeology Fragments
Draenei Archaeology Fragments
Orc Archaeology Fragments
Vrykul Archaeology Fragments
Nerubian Archaeology Fragments
Tol'vir Archaeology Fragments
Mogu Archaeology Fragments - STILL IN PROGRESS
Pandaren Archaeology Fragments - STILL IN PROGRESS

For a complete tally of ALL the archaeology solves you have slaved through, use the following macro (updated for MoP):

/run print("Total artifacts"); for x=1,12 do local c=GetNumArtifactsByRace(x); local a =0; for y=1,c do local t = select(9, GetArtifactInfoByRace(x, y)); a=a+t;end local rn = GetArchaeologyRaceInfo(x); if( c > 1 ) then print(rn .. ": " .. a); end end

This will produce a list like this:

Total artifacts
Dwarf: 44
Draenei: 11
Fossil: 64
Night Elf: 179
Nerubian: 4
Orc: 12
Tol'vir: 128
Troll: 87
Vrykul: 8
Pandaren: 25
Mogu: 26

Another handy point about fossil archaeology is that the dig sites have names aside from their usual geographical names, and all of the fossil sites I have found so far have the phrase "fossil bank" in the site name. These names show up when mousing over the shovel indicating dig site location on the large map.
