This year saw the 150th anniversary of the naming of Archaeopteryx – the iconic ‘missing link’ animal between dinosaurs and birds. Up until now only 10 specimens were known to exist, however now an 11th has been discovered and is ready for the scientists to study and name.
The new specimen is very well preserved excepted that the skull and one forelimb are missing. The archaeopteryx is in the classic dinosaur death pose, and can be seen for the first time by the public at the Munich Show between 28th and 30th October.
