Re: 7 or 8 Archaeopteryx specimens?
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?
