I've been putting off buying a generation IV game for a while,but I've been considering making Pokemon Platinum my next game purchase.But before I purchase it,I was hoping someone could answer the only question I haven't been able to find an answer to anywhere else:

Which generation IV fossil (skull or armor) is available in Pokemon Platinum?

This is important to me because I really want a Cranidos,but none of the sites that discuss Platinum mention if only one specific fossil is available in that version.They only seem to want to talk about how all the previous games fossils are available,but they don't really mention if the either the skull or armor fossil is obtainable or not.
 
..How? By OT?? According to Serebii.net, Odd is Skull and even is Armor. Haven't tried it yet.
 
Which one is available depends on your Trainer ID number. If it's odd, Skull Fossils will be available to dig up in the Underground; if it's even, Armor Fossils will be available. I think that both become available once the national dex is obtained, but I don't know for sure.
 
According to guides. ALL fossils are available.
But to my VERY VERY ROTTEN luck, all I've been able to find are Skull fossils, now I have 9 of 'em! 9 !!!
No sight whatsoever of the other kind, so I'm starting to doubt the guides.
 
Do you have the National 'Dex yet? Because other fossils will not show up until you do. Also, according to the guide published by PUSA, the 4th gen fossils remain ID exclusive.
 
I've dug up both kinds, but I think I was only able to find Skull before the national dex. (Which fits with what everyone else seems to be saying).
 
Well, the only time I've found a fossil thus far in Platinum, it was an Armor Fossil. I know the "phonebook" (my nickname for the Pt. Strat-Guide) says you can get both and others will be available after the National Pokedex upgrade (just like D/P, apparently).

I've never heard of the Even/Odd thing. If it's true, then it works for me (mine is even).

Yay, I learned something today. Thanks, you guys.

[EDIT] If it's a Skull Fossil you want, I could trade you something with one attached. My Diamond has loads. XD
