In the anime

Kabuto was one of the fossil Pokémon that attack Ash and Team Rocket until being scared off by Aerodactyl in Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon.

In Shell Shock, a "deranged old man" was saying that an island full of Kabuto fossils would sink once the moon casted a red glow. He was right, the fossils came to life and the island collapsed; since the fossils kept the island together.
