Archaeopteryx was a small, bird-like dinosaur. It lived during the Late Jurassic Period in what is now Europe. The discovery of the first Archaeopteryx fossil in Germany in 1861 caused a lot of confusion. No birds were known from so far back.
Archaeopteryx is known to have evolved from small carnivorous dinosaurs, as it retains many features such as teeth and a long tail. It also retains a wishbone, a breastbone, hollow thin-walled bones, air sacs in the backbones, and feathers, which are also found in the nonavian coelurosaurian relatives of birds.
Archaeopteryx is a fossil species that is classified as a Ceolurosaurian dinosaur. Coelurosaurian dinosaurs include theropod dinosaur species that gave rise to modern birds. Archaeopteryx is important because it shows the transition from dinosaurs to modern bird species via the process of evolution.
Archaeopteryx is assumed to be a sister group to the clade that includes living birds, not a direct ancestor.

How did Archaeopteryx die and become preserved? Although Archaeopteryx lived on land, occasionally some would have been caught up in storms as they flew or glided over the water. Waterlogged and unable to take off again, they would have drowned and sunk to the floor of the lagoon.
