Archaeopteryx (pronounced /ɑː(ɹ).kiːˈɔp.təˌɹɪks/) meaning "ancient wing" (Greek archaio = ancient + pteryx = wing), from the Late Jurassic of Germany, is the earliest and most primitive known bird. The discovery of the first intact specimen, Archaeopteryx lithographica, in 1861, two years after Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, set off a firestorm of debate about evolution and the role of transitional fossils that endures to this day.
Over the years, ten specimens of Archaeopteryx have been found. "All ten fossils were found in a limestone deposit near Solnhofen, Germany."

In the 1990s, the discovery of a number of well-preserved feathered dinosaurs in China solidified the link between dinosaurs and birds
