Archaeopteryx
- Archaeopteryx 's name means 'ancient' 'feather' or 'wing',and was alive in the late Jurassic Period (155 to 150 million years ago) in the area that is now Germany.
- It is considered by some to be the earliest and most primitive known avian (bird). It was similar in size and shape to a magpie, with broad, rounded wings and a long tail, and reached up to 0.6 ft in length.
- Its feathers resembled those of modern birds but Archaeopteryx was rather different from any bird known today, in that it had jaws lined with sharp teeth, three 'fingers' ending in curved claws and a long bony tail.
