It seems like during G1 someone at hasbro/takara wanted fossils to be in G1. The first attempt had the fossilized characters using the rock/ice they where encased in as extra armor in robot mode. Here's a mammoth design with its fossil mode, its normal robot and it armored robot.

A very nice paper with wonderful fossils. Some of the specimens (most of ?) are hosted in our collections ;) Quercy specimens have a crazy preservation (3D mummified toad and salamander with last meal in the belly) !!!

The Gem Fossil, Galea Fossil, and Tail Fossil. They are the first trio of fossils that can be dug up in the Agrios Region! What prehistoric creatures do you think could be revived from these?
