The claw fossil holds anorith, which evolves into Armaldo at level 40. Armaldo is more of a speed/attack pokemon but, a downfall to this pokemon is that its type is rock/bug, so it has many weaknesses.
The root fossil hold Lileep, which evolves into Cradily at level 40. Cradily is more of a defence type of pokemon. This pokemons type is rock/grass. since there isnt that many amazing grass types in Sapphire(other then bellosom,Sceptile, and vileplume) this would also be a considerable choice.
The main basis for whichever one you pick is entirely up to your battle style. You should base it off of your team, Armaldo is a sweeper and Cradily is an annoyer/possible tank.
If given to the Devon researcher in the Devon corporation the claw fossil can be revived into Anorith.
To get a Lileep in Pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald you need to revive a Root Fossil. The Root Fossil can be found on Route 111 however choosing it will cost you the ability to get the Claw Fossil. Alternatively you can trade for a Lileep from another game if you've picked the Claw Fossil.
Anorith
The Claw fossil is a fossil which contains a Pokemon named Anorith, for you to get Anorith is to take the fossil and give it to a scientist in Devon Corp. (Rustboro City). After some time he will call you and tell you to come for the Pokemon (Anorith).
You get it by getting a life...and not playing Pokemon...
get the claw fossil because anorith is better
You'll get an Anorith. CLAW fossil- anorith root fossil-lileep helix fossil- kabuto
root fossil is lileep claw fossil is anorith

The Root fossil is the Pokemon Lileep and the Claw fossil is anorith =D
The Claw fossil
the claw fossil is better superkidra- more specifically The Claw fossil is a fossil which contains a Pokemon named Anorith, for you to get Anorith is to take the fossil and give it to a scientist in Devon Corp. (Rustboro City). After some time he will call you and tell you to come for the Pokemon (Anorith).
The Claw Fossil is Anorith.
in the ground
It is in the Northeast corner of the desert.
I have Pokemon Sapphire, but it's the same thing in both games. There are two fossils, one is the root fossil and one is the claw fossil. The root fossil will get you a Lileep (which then evolves into a Cradily at lvl40) and the claw fossil will get you an Anorith (which also evolves at lvl40 to give you an Armaldo). Hope that helps!!
