'''''Archaeopteryx''''' is an extinct [[bird]] known from a small number of [[fossil]].

There are two criticisms of the Archaeopteryx.  One criticism is that the fossil fragments are fraudulent. Another criticism is that even if Archaeopteryx existed, it was a true bird and not a transitional form suggesting evolution.
