Archaeopteryx is one of the most famous fossils ever found, a
crow-size creature with big legs, a bony tail, a mouthful of teeth --
and feathers. Discovered only two years after publication of Charles
Darwin's "Origin of Species," it became an instant sensation as the
epitome of evolution -- a bird, yes, but only just.
For decades, scientists studied the aerodynamics of archaeopteryx to
determine whether it could fly. The consensus was that it probably
could, but not well: "It is an unusual animal," said paleontologist
Angela Milner of London's Natural History Museum. "It's like a
dinosaur skeleton with feathers."
