Omanyte are considered extinct but can be revived from fossils! Omanyte control their buoyancy by manipulating the stored air within their shell. Research is limited on this rare Pokémon but they resemble ammonites, an extinct mollusk. Ammonites may have been able to spray ink 🦑

The funniest have got to be fossils that got stepped on by other animals. My two favorites are a Plesiochelys shell stepped on by a sauropod and a Tarbosaurus skull stepped on by a Saurolophus.

I had an idea for Magic: The Gathering plane where people have learned how extract mana from the fossils of ancient magical creature. This eventually awakens the vengeful spirits of these long dead monsters.
