Critique | No definition has been proposed. The much older family Archaeopterygidae (Huxley 1871) is well suited to receive Archaeopteryx lithographica and closely related species. This family is based on a framentary portion of a cranium from Bayn Dzak (Flaming Cliffs, Outer Mongolia), which was attributed to a new taxon Archaeornithoides deinosauriscus and allied with Archaeopteryx lithographica (Elzanowski and Wellnhofer 1992). Consensus has not been reached regarding the morphological interpretation and phylogenetic position of this fragmentary, and very possibly immature, specimen.
