I’m pretty certain your first picture is “Archaeoraptor”, first appearing in Nat’l Geographic in November 1999. If you research it you’ll find that it was a hugely embarrassing hoax for the magazine.

I was searching for a picture of the Archaeopteryx, to emphasise the presence of the clawed forelimbs. Google Image Search returned many pictures of the same, of which I chose the one nearest in width to the one below the picture of the Archaeoraptor, for aesthetic reasons. I should have gone with the coloured painting below, which is of the Archaeopteryx- a creature that was indeed real.
