Summary

Description

This fossil is the reason I ended up at the museum. It was the subject of a paper that redrew the phylogenic tree of birds and dinosaurs, to place Archaeopteryx on the dinosaur branch rather than the birds. I noticed that the fossil is at a museum in an area of China I was going to visit.
