Buried Fossil Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Buried Fossil is one of the few main-set Pokémon cards that does not depict an actual Pokémon species, which gives this common a wonderfully oddball place in Skyridge history.
Card History
Its rules are unusually flexible for the era, because Buried Fossil can evolve into anything that evolves from Mysterious Fossil, and official rulings even extended that to cards like Aerodactyl ex and Dark Omanyte.
Set Lore
Buried Fossil comes from Skyridge, the final Wizards of the Coast Pokémon TCG expansion and the last English e-Reader set, so even its commons carry end-of-an-era collector energy.
Artist
The card was illustrated by Atsuko Ujiie, a longtime Creatures, Inc. leader who also served as executive art director of the Pokémon CG Studio, linking this little fossil card to one of the franchise’s major visual architects.
In-Game
The artwork nods directly to Kanto’s fossil revival roots, featuring the Helix Fossil and fossilized remains tied to Kabuto and Aerodactyl—the same prehistoric trio players famously restore in the games.
