This is just pure nonsense. If you wanted to design a perfect missing link between reptiles and birds, Archaeopteryx would be it. It has feathers and wings like a bird, combined with a reptilian tail and teeth. The skeleton is intermediate. We have also a number of other transitional forms that are either more reptilian or more avian than Archie.
If the author is going to step outside his field so far, he should know enough to learn something about the area about which he's propounding.
And so it was designed, by a rabid evolutionist, out of whole cloth. That "fossil" (which had been slathered all over school texts for at least half a century)was determined to be a fraud in 1975 (after it was finally given something like an authentic peer reveiw, some 75 plus years after the fact of its discovery, and that only by accident, as the authenticity wasn't in question at the time, merely whether or not the supposed reptile-bird transition was a good flier, or a poor one...)
