"The Archaeopteryx Controversy" is a book on the "most beautiful fossil in the world." In his book, Richard traces the question of the controversy between the evolutionist and the creationist - Did the Archaeopteryx come forth from the hand of God a full pledged bird or did it evolve from lizards and dinosaurs and become the progenitor of birds? To the evolutionist; is Archaeopteryx the supreme Exemplar of a "perfect" missing-link in the fossil record? These are only a few of the many questions that Richard answers in his book on this "Treasure from the Solnhofen sands of Germany - Archaeopteryx."
