What Fossil Rich Means
This figure asks how specimen-rich a prehistoric animal looks from the source page's fossil-representation note.
- Some pages give explicit counts like over 30 individuals; others only say things like two specimens or numerous remains.
- The game converts that field into an approximate specimen count so the roster can be compared on one scale.
- This is about how rich the surviving fossil sample is, not how abundant the animal once was in life.
A famous fossil animal can still be built on surprisingly little material.
