Archaeopteryx

Archaeopteryx is a standalone fossil: one piece completes it. Dig up fossils at the cracks on the ground, have Blathers assess them, then donate it to the museum or sell spares for 1,300 Bells.

Dug from fine limestone in southern Germany, Archaeopteryx dates back about 150 million years. It had feathered wings like a bird, yet kept teeth, clawed fingers and a long bony tail, tying dinosaurs to birds.
