[edit] Summary

Image of a fossil Archaeopteryx Lithographica, taken on 2007-05-18 in the Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde in Karlsruhe, Germany. This is claimed to be the well-preserved Thermopolis specimen.[1][2][3]

Image taken by User:Stephan Schulz.

Since I'm not a photo expert, I've uploaded the images as raw as possible, i.e. without any correction for colour, horizon, or angle. Feel free to improve them.

The caption in the museum described this specimen as "probably found in in Eichstätt, Frankenalb, Bavaria, Germany", and from the upper Jurassic, 150 Ma.
