Archaeopteryx is one of the most famous transitional fossils, showcasing both dinosaur and bird-like features. It lived around 150 million years ago during the Late Jurassic period and is often considered the earliest known bird. About the size of a raven, Archaeopteryx had feathers, wings, and a wishbone like modern birds, but also retained reptilian traits such as teeth, clawed fingers, and a long bony tail. Its discovery provided crucial evidence for the evolutionary link between non-avian dinosaurs and birds.
