Your wallet is buried somewhere.
Every Solana address points at one spot on Earth’s land. Drill through the real rock there to the nearest fossil ever recorded.
What it does
Your address decides a spot on land. Two public research databases decide what is under it. Nothing is made up and nothing is picked by hand.
Runs here: the hash and the pin, in your browser and on our server.Live data: Macrostrat, the Paleobiology Database, PhyloPic.At launch: your first buy moves your pin, your bag sets your depth, cards mint.
Columns. Macrostrat has measured rock columns for about one pin in five, mostly in North America. Everywhere else it has the geologic map of the surface, so the core shows the surface rock and says plainly that nothing deeper is measured.
The find. The nearest fossil collection to your pin in the Paleobiology Database, preferring one from the rocks you drilled through. Within that collection your hash picks the species. Every find links to its record and to the paper that published it.
Hold more, dig deeper.
Your pin never moves. Your bag decides how far back in time the drill reaches, and your fossil is the nearest one from the time you can reach. Older is rarer. Here is one example pin at every depth.
Before launch every dig reaches all of time. Holding thresholds are placeholders until launch.
The holder timeline
Every saved fossil takes its place on the ruler of the last 539 million years, in the International Commission on Stratigraphy’s colours, and on the map where it was found.
No fossils saved yet. The first holder to save one puts the first mark on the map.

The ledger
Your specimen card
Yours: the style and the line you write. The record’s: the silhouette, the taxon, its age, the rock and the place. Those come from your dig and can’t be changed.
Minting opens at launch. Cards mint as compressed NFTs. A card is a picture of a record, not a specimen.
