==In the games==
The '''Armor Fossil''' (Japanese: '''たてのカセキ''' ''Shield Fossil'') is a [[Fossil]] introduced in [[Generation IV]] that can be regenerated into {{p|Shieldon}}. It is the counterpart of the [[Skull Fossil]].
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, they can be found by mining in [[the Underground]]. Skull Fossils are [[Game-exclusive Pokémon|exclusive]] to Diamond while Armor Fossils are exclusive to Pearl. In Platinum, only one or the other will be found based on the last digit of the player's [[Trainer ID number]]; an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 and 9) will only generate Skull Fossils, while an even number (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) will only generate Armor Fossils. If brought to the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]], the Skull and Armor Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Shieldon}}, respectively.


Unlike the other Fossils, the Skull and Armor Fossils cannot be found by {{m|Rock Smash|smashing rocks}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. However, if traded to HeartGold or SoulSilver and brought to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], the Skull and Armor Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Cranidos}} and {{p|Shieldon}}, respectively.
