Description
While Archaeopteryx certainly had a rather modern looking plumage, we have incomplete information when it comes to countour feathers, especially regarding the head region,which led some to believe Archie's head could have been bald. Or maybe it is just taphonomical artefacts.
Still, I drew this rather unusual depiction to prove that first, I can, and second that it is still within the plausible range of Archaeopteryx's feathering.
