Informations supplémentaires

The Thermopolis specimen of Archaeopteryx is one of only three existing in the world and is considered to be probably the best. It is one of the best preserved and most complete Archaeopteryx yet discovered. Unlike the other two specimens which were preserved on their side, the Thermopolis specimen died on its stomach, squashing it into a 'road kill' posture as overlying sediments compacted it.This position has allowed scientists to glimpse portiojns of the skull and limbs never before seen.
