Which was a bird. Try to keep up. Archaeopteryx was a bird certainly, one of those birds with clawed hands, a bony tail, and teeth.
Know of any other birds like that?

Hoatzins and Ostriches and apparently other bird species have claws on their wings. Baby birds are born with a tooth like appendage that helps them get out of their shell, so they must have the genetics to form teeth. And, a bony tail could be just a micro-evolution adaptation of a creature or some strange genetic mutation. It doesn't turn him into part dinosaur or indicate that he is a transitional species at all. Further, feathers and scales are quite different and one can not become the other. They don't have the right make up for that.

Under the feathers, Archy looks so much like an ordinary dromaeosaur that sometimes anti-E's claim it's just an ordinary dromaeosaur fossil with feather impressions faked about it.
(This claim too has been thoroughly debunked.)
