===In the How I Became a Pokémon Card manga===

The Old Amber appeared in ''[[PW27|Fossil + Pokémon = Aerodactyl!?]]'' where it was eventually revived in an Aerodactyl after [[Team Rocket]] broke into the lab.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===

{{adv|Red}} received an Old Amber from {{adv|Giovanni}} in [[Pewter City]] in ''[[PS023|Make Way for Magmar!]]''. Later, in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', following [[Blaine]]'s instructions, he revived the Old Amber into an [[Aero]]dactyl at the [[Pokémon Lab]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], making it one of his main team members.

Old Amber was introduced into the {{Trading Card Game}} in {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}}. Prior to its introduction, {{p|Aerodactyl}} must be evolved from the {{TCG|Mysterious Fossil}} card.

*{{wp|Amber}} is fossilized tree resin commonly found with insects trapped inside of it. The Old Amber is based on the theory of extracting DNA from the blood still preserved inside the insect to bring back past lifeforms. In real life, however, amber cannot preserve DNA.

* It is the only Pokémon Fossil that does not have an alternative choice to form a pair.

* The mosquito seen in the first generation artwork is a rare case of a [[Animals in the Pokémon world|real life animal]] in the Pokémon world.
