The Dome Fossil (Japanese: こうらのカセキ Carapace Fossil) and Helix Fossil (かいのカセキ Shellfish Fossil) are fossils which appear in the Generation I games, their Generation III remakes, and in the Generation IV and V games.

These key items are found in Mt. Moon after defeating a Super Nerd. While both are present, players are allowed to choose only one, as the other one will be taken by the Super Nerd. If brought to the laboratory on Cinnabar Island, the Dome Fossil can be regenerated into a Kabuto, and the Helix Fossil can be regenerated into an Omanyte. The Pokémon extracted from the Super Nerd's fossil is seen in the zoo just outside the Safari Zone.

The Dome and Helix Fossils are also available in every game from Generation IV onwards. In these games, they are not key items but ordinary items.

Like the Root and Claw Fossils, the Dome and Helix Fossils can be found in Sinnoh's Underground after the National Pokédex is acquired. Helix Fossils are more common in Diamond while Dome Fossils are more common in Pearl.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Dome and Helix Fossils can be found randomly by smashing rocks at the Ruins of Alph, and can be revived at the Pewter Museum of Science. The Dome Fossil is exclusive to SoulSilver while the Helix Fossil is exclusive to HeartGold.

In Black and White, a Worker in the Ice Rock room of Twist Mountain will hand out a random fossil from previous generations, including the Dome and Helix Fossils, once per day.

In the anime

Dome Fossils in the anime

In the anime, Dome Fossils are seen in 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. A Dome Fossil is an exhibit in the Nacrene City Museum in A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!.

In the TCG

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