    3. Try to check the Mystery Island

Make sure to bring a shovel when visiting a Mystery Island and keep your eyes to spot little stars on the ground.
    4. Search obstructed areas
      To find the fossils faster, make sure to search for them in specific areas. You may need to look for the fossils in the areas with hundreds of pieces of furniture which may hide the star. As a clue, the fossils will appear on even the smallest patch of grass and they may appear on dirt and sand paths.

How to Trade Fossils with Your Friends?

To speed up completing the Museum’s fossil section, you may need to trade the fossils. You definitely can trade the fossils that you have found with your friends, instead of selling duplicate fossils that you have donated.

Before you trade the fossils with your friends, you have to ask your friends whether they still need the fossils that you have duplicated. If they are willing, you can conduct a trade with them. So, you will earn some bells by trading the fossils that you have found.
