Re: 7 or 8 Archaeopteryx specimens?

["Steve Brusatte" <dinoland@mailcity.com>]

Jim and list:

Well, there are 8 specimens.  I know that as a fact.  What I would suspect is 
that maybe the museum site omitted the single feather as a specimen, but low 
and behold, there it was on the page.  So, here is what I think:  I recall 
hearing that an Archaeopteryx specimen was stolen in the early 80's and has not 
been found to this day.  So, possibly they are omitting that one??  I am not 
quite sure, as I am not exactly positive which specimen this was.

I just visited a site a few days ago that had pictures of EIGHT different 
Archaeopteryx fossils.  The University that employs Peter Wellenhofer hosted 
the site.  But, unfortunately I don't recall which university this was.  Can 
anyone help?
