About the Archaeopteryx
Feathers and wings like a bird, but teeth and a long bony tail like a dinosaur, made Archaeopteryx a true in-between animal. For a long time it was thought to be the earliest known bird, a link between dinosaurs and the birds of today. Its name means 'ancient wing'. Use it in a dinosaurs-into-birds lesson, tracing the path along its feathered wing.
