This is mostly a bug fix update. Although many common crashes after the last update were people not using the right LLibrary version, we resolve all the issues reported to us between release and now, and as a result should be more stable.
In other news, LLibrary has also updated, and we highly recommend updating that mod as well along with Fossils and Archeology. Check out the “Downloads and Installation” section for download links.
If you haven’t updated from 7.2.x yet, these important upgrade notes still apply.

Fossils and Archeology Revival Build 7.3.2 for Minecraft 1.7.10:
!!!!! This mod requires the latest LLibrary for Minecraft 1.7.10.
Make sure it is for Minecraft 1.7.10 and NOT 1.10.2. !!!!!

So, as a good discussion topic to start off this thread, what creature does everyone want to see added next? Personally, I'm going with Parasaurolophus or Oviraptor.
But if I had to guess, I'd say Titanoboa or Quetzalcoatlus.
No matter what it is, I can guarantee that I'll love it!
We wanted to migrate to it for this update but when the thread was created it disappeared moments after it was created and since we didn't want to delay the update we did it here. But now that the thread mysteriously came back expect future updates to happen here and the old thread archived!

There is no Dark Side, nor a Light Side
There is only the Force
I will do what i must to keep the balance
The balance is what keeps me together
There is no good without evil, but evil must be allowed to flourish
There is passion, Yet emotion
Serenity, Yet peace
Chaos, Yet order
I am the wielder of the flame, the protector of balance
I am the holder of t he torch, lighting the way
I am the keeper of the flame, soldier of balance
I am a guardian of balance
I am a Gray Jedi.

When the time machine becomes usable, Anu should drop an item in his boss battle used to craft the time machine. That way, the player has to do a hard boss battle to be able to go back in time. The recipe should also call for a nether star and blocks of diamonds...can you do that Alex or another dev?
Well, hopefully under this new thread, there'll never be a fear that the mod will die again. After the other three times I'm getting sick of it.

Curse PremiumHello people discovering this thread. It is indeed official, and a continuation of the one found here: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/mapping-and-modding/minecraft-mods/1288066
We wanted to migrate to it for this update but when the thread was created it disappeared moments after it was created and since we didn't want to delay the update we did it here. But now that the thread mysteriously came back expect future updates to happen here and the old thread archived!
So, this is the new thread.
Congrats.

Such as Dryosaurus? Yeah, that would be great.
This thread is better.

Curse PremiumThe mod never dies, it just naps for a while.
It doesn't nap! It hibernates for the winter time like a bear!
