Archaeopteryx,
genus of
feathered dinosaur that was once thought to be the oldest known
fossil bird. The specimens date to approximately 150 million years ago, during the Late
Jurassic Epoch (163.5 million to 145 million years ago), and all were found in the
Solnhofen Limestone Formation in
Bavaria, Germany, starting in 1861. However, late 20th- and early 21st-century discoveries of other birdlike fossils of similar age, including
Xiaotingia zhengi from the
Liaoning deposits in China, have prompted several
paleontologists to call for the reclassification of Archaeopteryx as a dinosaur.
also appear in X. zhengi and Aurornis xui, species thought to have lived some 5 million and 10 million years before Archaeopteryx, respectively, as well as others. Thus, these paleontologists claim that Archaeopteryx cannot in fact be the world’s most primitive bird,

However, early in the 21st century, the discovery of Xiaotingia zhengi, a fossilized feathered dinosaur in China that shares several birdlike characteristics with Archaeopteryx, cast doubt on the notion that all birds descended from Archaeopteryx. X. zhengi appears in the fossil record some five million years before Archaeopteryx, and this fact suggests that the single ancestor from which all bird lineages originate has yet to be found.
znaci pronasli su starije fosile od archeopteriksa, i poslije vise nisu mogli ga smatrati tranzicijski fosilom , pa su ga svrstali u dinosauruse.
