OFTEN THOUGHT OF as the ‘missing link’ between dinosaurs and birds, the Archaeopteryxis was a small dinosaur that had special feathers shaped to catch the wind.
It is the focal point of the Jurassic Skies exhibition at the National Museum of Ireland -Decorative Arts and History, and tells the story of the evolution of flight and offer visitors the opportunity to view a number of rarely seen fossils.
“What we do know about those dinosaurs is that they were feathered,” says Paolo Viscardi, Curator of Zoology.
“So it’s an easy kind of step to make to say that…the first bird was probably a dinosaur.”
