if it was one of these so called 'transitional fossils' then it should have existed long before birds became a species, yes?
Much of your problem is your definition of transition. To you, it appears that organism A becomes organism B through direct transition
A10 B0 to A5 B5 to A0 B10
Where in reality A10 B0 becomes a number of Ax B10-x some which lines continue, others become extinct. Archeopteryx is of the latter.
