The research, which is being published in journal Historical Biology, says that some of the differing skeletal characteristics of Archaeopteryx albersdoerferi include the fusion of cranial bones, different pectoral girdle (chest) and wing elements, and a reinforced configuration of carpals and metacarpals (hand) bones.
Some more detail or visuals would have been a nice inclusion with the article.

If you look at it from left to right it looks like a evil little man running on all fours, if you look at it the other way it looks like a buzzard with a baboon arse.

That guy does kind of look like a reptilian but I'm not sure I buy this theory.
