Description
This restoration of Archeopteryx lithographica is based on the handful of described skeletons including the 150 million year type specimen from the world-famous Solnhofen Limestone of Bavaria. The originals are all flattened. This composite corrects for these distortions. It is about 50 cm long.
This is the Wikipedia entry for the Solnhofen Formation:

This reconstruction was part of a traveling exhibition dedicated to the fossils from the Solnhofen lithographic limestone and the paleo art that they have inspired.
