Archaeopteryx
Archaeopteryx lithographica is regarded as one of the most important fossils ever discovered. It was a Jurassic animal with the skeleton of a reptile, including fingers with claws on the wings (solid arrows), backbone extending into the tail (open arrow), and teeth, but it was covered with feathers. Archaeopteryx is the oldest known fossil to have feathers.
