This listing is for a museum-quality cast replica of Archaeopteryx lithographica, one of the most significant transitional species in paleontology, bridging reptiles and modern birds.
The piece represents a cast taken from an original specimen discovered in the Solnhofen Limestone of Eichstätt, Bavaria, Germany, a formation renowned for exceptional fossil preservation from the Late Jurassic period. The cast clearly reproduces skeletal elements and feather impressions characteristic of Archaeopteryx and is intended for educational, display, or teaching purposes.
This example is clearly labeled as a “cast of original” and originates from The Kerry Yellin Collection, indicating use as a reference or instructional specimen rather than a decorative souvenir. It is not a natural fossil, and no original fossil material is present.

Notes:
This is a replica cast, not an original fossil
