Summary
| Description |
English: Almost complete skeleton of Archaeopteryx lithographica (original fossil - not a cast), on display at the 2009 Munich Mineral Days. This specimen is called “the sixth specimen” or “Solnhofen specimen”. Its exact provenance is unknown, but it is for sure that it comes from the Solnhofen lithographic limestones of the Altmühl River Valley (southern Franconian Alb, Bavaria, Germany), i. e. the same stratigraphic interval and geographic area as most of the other known specimens of Archaeopteryx. It has been made the type specimen of Wellnhoferia grandis, a genus and species erected in 2001,[1]
but this new assignment is not accepted by most paleontologists.
Deutsch: Ein fast vollständiges Skelett von Archaeopteryx lithographica (Original-Fossil, kein Abguss.), ausgestellt bei den Münchner Mineralientagen 2009. Dieses Exemplar wird „das sechste Exemplar“ oder „Solnhofener Exemplar“ genannt. Seine genaue Herkunft ist unklar, jedoch ist gesichert, dass es aus dem Solnhofener Plattenkalk des Altmühltals (südliche Frankenalb) stammt, d. h. aus dem gleichen stratigraphischen Intervall und der gleichen geographischen Region wie die meisten anderen bekannten Exemplare von Archaeopteryx. Basierend auf diesem Stück wurde 2001 die neue Gattung und Art Wellnhoferia grandis beschrieben,[1] jedoch wird diese neue Zuordnung von den meisten Paläontologen nicht anerkannt.
