This card was originally released in the {{TCG|Fossil}} expansion, originating from the {{TCG|Mystery of the Fossils}} expansion in Japan. It was later reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} expansion and {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}} expansion with the same artwork by [[Keiji Kinebuchi]]. It was then released with new artwork by [[Ryo Ueda]] in the {{TCG|EX Legend Maker}} expansion ({{TCG|Mirage Forest}} expansion in Japan). This card was reprinted in the {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} and {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}} expansions, and then released in the {{TCG|World Champions Pack}} in Japan.
This card was reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} reprint set, which was only released outside of Japan. It was also reprinted in the {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}} set with the same art, as well as in the {{TCG|EX Legend Maker}}, {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}}, and {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}} sets with new art by [[Ryo Ueda]].


The card has seen its fair share of wording changes, and even had its HP changed from 10 to 50 for the EX Legend Maker print for no apparent reason.
Mysterious Fossil was made obsolete by the {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} expansion, which introduced {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Helix Fossil|91}}, {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Dome Fossil|89}}, and {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Old Amber|84}} as separate cards.

The EX Sandstorm print was reworded to read as follows:

The EX Legend Maker print made an additional reword, changing "instead of a Trainer card" to "as well as a Trainer card"; this kept the card in line with a prior errata.

It was once believed that the card would have been reworded again in its next printing after the {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}} print to be similar to the wording on {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Armor Fossil|116}} and {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Skull Fossil|117}}.  However, {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} instead decided to do away with Mysterious Fossil and instead introduce {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Helix Fossil|91}}, {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Dome Fossil|89}}, and {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Old Amber|84}} as separate cards, essentially ensuring that there won't be another print of Mysterious Fossil.

Trivia

The Dome and Helix Fossils appear in this card. However, the artwork depicts the Dome Fossil as the fossil of a Kabutops rather than a Kabuto.

Origin

Fossils are items in the Pokémon games that can be revived into Pokémon.
