Archaeopteryx - Daiting Specimen

Main article: Archaeopteryx
Daiting Specimen

An eighth, fragmentary specimen of

Munich Mineral Show in October 2009.[4] A first, quick look by scientists indicate that this specimen might represent a new species of Archaeopteryx.[5] It was found in a limestone bed that was a few hundred thousand years younger than the other finds.[3]

The quarry the specimen had been found has since been infilled. The area of the former quarry is in the possession of the municipality of Daiting, which does not have the financial means to carry out research. Daiting had expressions of interest for the area but has not decided as to whether it will sell it into private ownership.[3]
