The '''Old Amber''' (Japanese: '''ひみつのコハク''' ''Secret Amber'') is a [[Fossil]] introduced in [[Generation I]] that can be regenerated into {{p|Aerodactyl}}.


The Old Amber is different from the other Fossils, being a type of fossilized substance rather than a Fossil named by its appearance; however, the Aerodactyl skeleton in Pewter City Museum implies that it does have its own fossilized remains.

===Price===
In the Generation I and III games, Old Amber is a [[Key Item]] obtained in a back room of the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], from one of the scientists, who believes that it could be resurrected. {{m|Cut}} is required to access the room, as it is blocked by a cuttable tree. It is given to the {{player}} by one of the scientists working there. If brought to the [[Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], Old Amber can be regenerated into an {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
