What if the official fossil Pokemon were actually restored incompletely, and through more diverse samples and newer technology the lithification could be reserved entirely? Here are a few ideas, based on this old concept of mine.
The color schemes were inspired by the respective shiny palettes, which could be seen as a minor chance of their original colors surviving the resurrection process. Other than that, changes were kept mostly superficial to stick with the theme.
Competitively, they gain a new secondary type in place of Rock, alongside slight stat boosts (+10 HP / +10 other stat / +20 other stat ) and mostly new abilities.
