Ocean ruins now have better archaeology. You can now find nautilus shells and coast armor trims. In cold ocean ruins, you can find sprouter eggs as a counterpart to the sniffer eggs found in warm ocean ruins.

You can find these prismarine pottery sherds as well: “Artifact”, “Catch”, “Ink”, “Protector”, and “Shell” in cold ocean ruins, and “Idol”, “Pickle”, “Reef”, “Turtle”, and “Voyager” in warm ocean ruins.

The sherds that were previously found here have been moved: “Angler”, “Shelter”, and “Snort” to the jungle temple and “blade”, “explorer”, “plenty”, and “mourner” to the ancient city.

Swamp archaeologist villagers (those with a swamp outfit, found in mangrove swamp villages) also trade a map to both types of ocean ruin if you can’t find one in the vast oceans.
