Some years ago Darksyd published a picture of Archaeopteryx on my blog Transitions. I’m not sure where the picture came from but I need a high resolution copy – or any picture that refutes Hoyle’s contention that the feathers are fraudulent. Seems there is a commenter at Talk Rational propagating Hoyle’s false claims and Monad needs a good picture to refute them.
On a related note, can someone send me a copy of the following article?
Archaeopteryx Is Not a Forgery
Charig et al
Science 2 May 1986:
Vol. 232. no. 4750, pp. 622 – 626
DOI: 10.1126/science.232.4750.622

Thanks in advance!

Paper on its way!
Thanks!
There’re high res pictures of Archeopteryx at Wikimedia commons e.g. this one from the Berlin Naturkundemuseum.
It has occurred to me that all too often the difference between reliable photographic evidence and unreliable photographic evidence lies in how the viewer sees the subject of the photo. If he is convinced the subject must be fake, then any photo of it must be unreliable.
