==In the games==
The '''Cover Fossil''' (Japanese: '''ふたのカセキ''' ''Cover Fossil'') is a [[Fossil]] introduced in [[Generation V]] that can be regenerated into {{p|Tirtouga}}. It is the counterpart of the [[Plume Fossil]].
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a {{tc|Backpacker}} on the first floor of [[Relic Castle]] has found both of the Fossils, but claims they are too heavy and offers one of the Fossils to the player, and the player must choose one of the two Fossils. The Fossil that is not chosen is kept by the Backpacker, and cannot be obtained in-game.


If brought to the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]], the Cover and Plume Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Tirtouga}} and {{p|Archen}}, respectively.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, the former [[Gym Leader]] [[Lenora]] will give the player either fossil when they reach [[Nacrene City]] later on in the game after defeating the [[Elite Four]]. Just like before the player must choose one of the two fossils and then speak to the researcher standing alone at the front desk of the mueseum to revive it.

A Cover Fossil appeared in A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1. It was found by Ferris and later stolen by Team Rocket, who—by using the stolen data from Professor Juniper and Fennel's fossil resurrection machine and the stones stolen from the Chargestone Cave—managed to revive it into a Tirtouga. It evolved into a Carracosta in the next episode and was eventually returned back to its own time through a time gate in Twist Mountain.

It allows players to look at the bottom seven cards of their deck, reveal a Tirtouga they find there, and put it onto their Bench. The other six cards are then shuffled back into the deck.
