In Japan, it was released as '''Mystery of the Fossils'''. It is based on {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red, Blue}}, and [[Pokémon Green Version|Green]], featuring [[Generation I]] Pokémon and [[Fossil]] Pokémon. The English expansion was released on October 10, 1999, while the Japanese expansion was released on June 21, 1997. It was originally planned to be released in the United States around January 2000 (based on initial {{TCG|Jungle}} estimates). However, since Jungle was released earlier, Fossil was pushed forward as well. | ||

Though, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mew|8}} was removed to be released later as both Holo and Non Holo {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|Black Star Promos}}. In the Australian release, the Unlimited edition used red lettering for the word "Pokémon" instead of yellow on the Booster Box, Booster Packs and Theme Decks. This was intended to prevent counterfeiting. Additionally, all the Non Holo cards (including Rare cards) came with a 1999-2000 copyright at the bottom of the card; the standard 1999 copyright for packs with red lettering. | ||

There appears to be some error printings of Unlimited Fossil Holos with the Cosmos Holofoil with a 1999 copyright (including Zapdos). | ||
