Re: Archaeopterix? What Archaeopterix....?!

When I stationed outside London in the late 80's there was a big flap over
this book with articles written in Nature refuting its claims.  They also put
the British specimen on display in the the Museum of Natural History in South
Kensington.  A detailed guide to the the speciamen was included in the
display refuting H&W's claims.

There have been several Archaeopteryx specimens uncovered.  The most recent
one was within the last 20 years.  One specimen was originally miss
identified as a coelosaur but properly identified in the early 70's.  Allof
the specimens have feather imprints and most have a discernable furcula.  

The experts think that the H&W book was cranky and it has descended into a
well deserved oblivion.
