Talk:Archaeopteryx
|
only seven specimens of Archaeopteryx have been found in the Solnhofen limestone of southern Germany. As I read this, perhaps it should say "only seven specimens of Archaeopteryx have been found, all in the Solnhofen limestone of southern Germany" RickK 02:54, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Well yes, because there aren't any at all anywhere else. An eighth find, the first one, was a stray feather. Wetman 03:05, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Thanks, Wetman, I modified the article. RickK 03:08, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
Creationist straw man refutation
The Archaeopteryx is the most common response whenever a creationist says "There are no transitorial fossils". Is this something worth noting in the article; or should this article have the word "transitorial" in it somewhere? Samboy 06:54, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
Yes, but we need to strive for a NPOV :). I expanded the intro a little, and mentioned transitional fossils in the first paragraph. 68.81.231.127 08:51, 23 Dec 2004 (UTC)
