How to Get Cranidos in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond
We have bad news for Shining Pearl owners, as the item needed to get Cranidos is available only in Brilliant Diamond.

After a successful digging, there will be a chance that you will find a Skull Fossil, the item needed to get Cranidos. After finding the fossil, go to Oreburgh City and head towards the Mining Museum. Enter the building and talk to the male NPC on the counter. He will then use the Skull Fossil to revive Cranidos. After gaining him the fossil, leave the museum and head right back in. Once you are back, go to the counter and talk to the NPC, who will, this time, give you your Cranidos.
