Objectives

Take the mysterious fossil to Archaeologist Flagongut in Menethil Harbor.

•  [Mysterious Fossil] (Provided)

Description

This fossil bears a striking resemblance to one I once saw in Ironforge. An archaeologist by the name of Flagongut brought it to our annual Explorers' League conference. He believed the fossil had a power which could be unlocked somehow.

Last I heard Flagongut had holed up in the Deepwater Tavern in Menethil Harbor, awaiting escort to the Whelgar Excavation Site. Seek him out and show him Remtravel's fossil. Perhaps he can reveal the secrets of the past.

The ship to Menethil departs from Stormwind.

Progress

What ya got there, friend?

Completion

Oh my! You say this came from the distant lands of Kalimdor?

Amazing! Simply amazing!

Notes

The quest text says that the ship to Menethil departs from Stormwind, but in fact the ship to Menethil was replaced by a ship to Valiance Keep with the release of WotLK.

Sept 6, 2009: The quest text actually says nothing about a boat. Instead, it says "Good luck findin' your way there!"
