Marty Leipzig
The Berlin Specimen, the Eichstatt Specimen, the British
Specimen; plus three others of UND-# designation. One was
recently found at the AMNH, as it was misidentified for years
as a small, theropodous dinosaur. Numbers have nothing to do with
the status of a fossils' transitionalism; one _Archeopteryx
lithographica_ would have sufficed. We now know of seven, and
the preservation is incredible. You see, I actually got to
examine the genuine article a few years back. Damn nigh closest
this atheist ever came to something akin to a religious
experience.
