Abstract in brief

The fossil feather from the Jurassic Solnhofen has been important in studying how dinosaurs evolved into birds, but its exact identification has been debated.
Recent research confirmed some features of the feather but questioned whether it belonged to Archaeopteryx, though there are errors in that interpretation.
The authors argue that the feather is most likely an upper major primary covert of Archaeopteryx based on its length, shape, and similarities with other specimens, and they suggest the feather was matte black in color.]

Archaeopteryx's Wing Structure Indicates Early Flight Capabilities

Archaeopteryx, a crucial Late Jurassic fossil from Germany, shows wing features similar to modern birds, suggesting it could flap its wings and initiate wing-powered flight earlier than previously believed.
