Image description

Genus of bird-like dinosaurs that is transitional between non-avian feathered dinosaurs and modern birds. The first skeleton, known as the London Specimen, was unearthed in 1861 near Langenaltheim, Germany, and perhaps given to a local physician Karl Häberlein in return for medical services. He sold it for £700 to the Natural History Museum. Missing most of its head and neck, it was described in 1863 by Richard Owen as Archaeopteryx macrura. Archaeopteryx lived in the Late Jurassic period around 150 million years ago.
