posted by dataminer Centro Leaks, the only five fossil Pokémon in Legends: Z-A are Aerodactyl (Old Amber), Amaura (Sail Fossil), Tyrunt (Jaw Fossil), and the evolutions Aurorus and Tyrantrum.

When we look back at fossils from XY, those from every other generation were also available, from Omanyte and Kabuto to Tirtouga and Archen. In total, Z-A should have eight fewer fossils compared to XY, if leaks are right.

The second and negative one would believe that more fossils are locked behind the Mega Dimensions DLC.

My conviction is that these other fossils will come with the DLC, just like we're already
