Fossil Excavation
Trap – Continuous

Discard 1 card from your hand. Select 1 Dinosaur-Type monster in your Graveyard and Special Summon it. An Effect Monster Special Summoned this way has its effect negated. When this card is removed from the field, destroy that monster. When the monster is destroyed, destroy this card.

Rulings:
You cannot activate "Fossil Excavation" if you do not have any Dinosaur-Type monsters in your Graveyard, even if you would discard one to activate it.

Question: can I Special Summon more than 1 Dynosaur-Type monster paying multiple costs? If yes, why? If no, why? Thank you.

Ness will likely beat me to this, but in case he's got a bun in the oven...

1) By simply reading the card's text, it can be quite misleading. However, I would say that Fossil Excavation functions much like Hysteric Party, Call Of The Haunted & Limit Reverse. You activate and pay the cost once, special summoning the monster once.

I'd love to have one. I'm hungry T_T


Just to add a slight justification, Fossil Excavatino is a Continuous Trap Card for the sole purpose of destroying the Dinosaur when Fossil Excavation is destroyed, and vice-versa.

It does not have an Ignition-like effect, unlike Ultimate Offering or Type Zero Magic Crusher.
