Archaeopteryx shared many anatomic characters with #coelurosaurs, a group of #theropods (carnivorous dinosaurs). In fact, only the identification of feathers on the first known specimens indicated that the animal was a #bird. Unlike living birds, however, #Archaeopteryx had well-developed teeth and a long well-developed tail similar to those of smaller dinosaurs, except that it had a row of feathers on each side. The three fingers bore claws and moved independently.
