Say my opening hand has got a Fossil in it, am I able to use that as a basic Pokemon?

Yes, you may.

 

[hukedonanime]

If you have a fossil in your opening hand then yes you are allowed to put it down as your starting basic Pokemon.

You have to. Just like if there were a normal Basic Pokemon in there. You can't choose to mulligan in a case like this.
