Intro says it is a Fossil Trainer card, origin swallows the trivia because that is where Pokemon appearances go on other cards. I'm removing the "obsolete" paragraph because one can argue Unlimited is a format and I don't think opponents will allow Fossil Aerodactyl to evolve from Old Amber. (That and usually card articles are super anti-forward facing)
