This card was included in the {{TCG|Fossil}} expansion with artwork by [[Keiji Kinebuchi]], first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Mystery of the Fossils}} expansion. It was later reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} expansion and {{TCG|EX Sandstorm}} expansion. It was reprinted in the {{TCG|EX Legend Maker}} expansion with new artwork by [[Ryo Ueda]], first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Mirage Forest}} expansion. It was reprinted again in the {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} expansion. It was reprinted again in the {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|World Champions Pack}} expansion.
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.

The EX Sandstorm print was reworded to read as follows:
|type=Trainer
{{Trainer Text

(Discard it anyway.) At any time during your turn before your attack, you may discard Mysterious Fossil from play.
|set1=Fossil
|}}
|illus1=Keiji Kinebuchi
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.
|image2=MysteriousFossilEXLegendMaker79.jpg
 
|set2=EX Legend Maker
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

Origin

Fossils are items in the Pokémon games that can be revived into Pokémon. The Dome Fossil and Helix Fossil appear in this card. However, the artwork depicts the Dome Fossil as the fossil of a Kabutops rather than a Kabuto. There are also some wing bones which could be related to Aerodactyl.
