==In the games==
===Effect===
In the Generation I and III games, the Dome and Helix Fossils are [[key item]]s found in [[Mt. Moon]] after defeating a {{tc|Super Nerd}}. While both are present, {{player}}s are allowed to choose only one, as the other one will be taken by the Super Nerd. If brought to the [[Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively. The Pokémon extracted from the Super Nerd's fossil is seen in the zoo just outside the {{safari|Kanto}}.  
If brought to the one of the following locations, the Helix Fossil can be regenerated into an {{p|Omanyte}}.


In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, they are no longer key items, being demoted to simply items. They can be found by mining in [[the Underground]] after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. Helix Fossils are more common in Diamond while Dome Fossils are more common in Pearl. If brought to the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Dome and Helix Fossils can be found randomly by {{m|Rock Smash|smashing rocks}} at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. The Dome Fossil is exclusive to SoulSilver while the Helix Fossil is exclusive to HeartGold. If brought to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively.
====Generation I and III====
In the Generation I and III games, the Helix Fossil is a [[Key Item]].


In {{2v2|Black|White}}, a {{tc|Worker}} in the [[Ice Rock]] room of [[Twist Mountain]] hands out a random fossil from previous generations, including the Dome and Helix Fossils, once per day. If brought to the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene Museum]], the Dome and Helix Fossils can be regenerated into {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}, respectively.
In {{game|Emerald}}, the Helix Fossil (as well as the [[Dome Fossil]] and [[Old Amber]]) is found in the game data, but it is [[List of unobtainable items|not legitimately obtainable]] and has no effect. The player is unable to regenerate this fossil in the [[Devon Corporation]].


==In the anime==
====Generation IV onward====
[[File:Dome Fossil anime.png|thumb|right|250px|A Dome Fossil in the anime]][[File:EP089.png|thumb|left|200px|Dome Fossils in the anime]]
From Generation IV onward, the Helix Fossil is no longer a Key Item, and is a normal item. Therefore, multiples of them can be obtained, they can be [[held item|held]], and sent to other players via [[trade|trading]].
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Dome Fossils are seen in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]''. They make up the structure of an island, and are revived into Kabuto in red moonlight, causing the whole island to collapse and sink.


In ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', a Dome Fossil was first seen chasing [[Hawes]], as he claimed it to be doing, but was later seen safely placed in a display case. Hawes later explained what it was to Ash and {{ashfr}}. It was later revealed that the {{p|Yamask}} in the Nacrene City Museum was using its move {{m|Psychic}} to make the Dome Fossil float and chase after Hawes after he put its mask in a display case, thinking that it was a replica Yamask mask given to him as a gift from the company that made a {{p|Cofagrigus}} replica after purchasing it from them for the museum.

==In the TCG==
===Acquisition===
Both fossils appear on the artwork for the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card. However, the artwork depicts the Dome Fossil as the fossil of a {{p|Kabutops}}, Kabuto's evolution, rather than of a Kabuto. The two fossils were later split off into their own individual cards.

The '''Helix Fossil''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} expansion, first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Moonlit Pursuit}} expansion. As a {{TCG|Fossil Trainer card}}, after being played it is put onto the Bench as a {{ct|Colorless}} [[Basic Pokémon]]. When the player attaches a {{TCG|Water Energy}} from their hand to the Helix Fossil, its {{TCG|Poké-Body}} allows them to search their deck for an {{TCG|Omanyte}} that evolves from a Helix Fossil and evolve Helix Fossil into the Omantye. Afterwards, the player shuffles their deck.
 
{{main|Helix Fossil Omanyte (Fates Collide 102)}}
During the XY Series, the {{TCG|Fates Collide}} expansion included the {{TCG|Item card}} {{TCG ID|Fates Collide|Helix Fossil Omanyte|102}}. It allows players to look at the bottom seven cards of their deck, reveal an Omanyte they find there, and put it onto their Bench. The other six cards are then shuffled back into the deck.
 
{{main|Antique Helix Fossil (151 153)}}
The Scarlet & Violet Series saw the release of {{TCG ID|151|Antique Helix Fossil|153}} in the {{TCG|151}} expansion. This card is similar to the original Helix Fossil, being another Fossil Trainer card. It has an {{TCG|Ability}} that blocks the opponent from playing any {{TCG|Stadium card}}s from their hand, as long as Antique Helix Fossil is in the Active Spot.
 
Helix Fossils are also featured on the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} and {{TCG|Unidentified Fossil}} cards. They are also Fossil Trainer cards which can evolve into certain Omanyte. A Helix Fossil is also on {{TCG|Buried Fossil}}, which is a Pokémon which evolves in the same way Mysterious Fossil does.

==Trivia==
{{bulbanews|Gotta Meme 'em All: Spiraling Out of Control!}}
* In the first {{game|Red and Blue|s}} run of [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]], the chaotic control scheme resulted in the player constantly using the Helix Fossil. This lead to jokes that the game's protagonist was constantly consulting it for advice. This resulted in memes that the player worshiped the Helix Fossil and fans referred to {{p|Omanyte}} as "Lord Helix".
** In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], when the language is set to French, before battle [[Brawly]] says, "{{tt|J'ai découvert le secret de la vraie puissance en fixant un ''Nautile'' pendant des jours et des jours...|I discovered the secret of true power by staring at a Helix Fossil for days and days...}}", [[List of cross-canon references|referencing]] the aforementioned meme.
