These devices include snare traps, incapacitating sprays, jackhammers, two types of bombs, pickaxes (which make a pile of rock from the ceiling blocking enemies from advancing), and buckets filled with goo that is used to cover surfaces and slow characters down.
A 2020 study used fossil mammal teeth as a proxy to estimate the ancient climate conditions of the Gray Fossil Site, estimating a mean annual temperature of 16.8 °C, or 62.2 °F (similar to modern-day Atlanta, GA), and an annual precipitation of 1,343mm, or 52.9in (similar to modern-day Tampa, FL), with the minimum temperature of the coldest ...

The most basic tool for digging is the shovel. [1] In neolithic times and earlier, a large animal's scapula (shoulder blade) was often used as a crude ...
