Donkey Kong Bananza: Where To Find Rare Fossils | Canyon Layer

There are three types of fossils to find in the Canyon Layer of Donkey Kong Bananza — your rare fossils are trilobites and a giant tricerotops skeleton. All of them are tricky to find and required if you want to unlock the best fashion from the Style Shop. Here’s where to find the rare fossils in both sublayers of the Canyon level. For more fossil help, don’t miss our guide covering all the rare fossils in the Lagoon Layer.

Fossils are a unique type of collectible that can be traded to Style Shops for cosmetics like pants for DK, new fur color schemes and full outfits for Pauline to wear. Each major layer has its own specific Style Shop and unique fossils to collect, so you’ll need to search all over again whenever you enter a new layer.
