The discovery of Archaeopteryx was important because it was the first evidence found that showed that birds evolved from dinosaurs.
The evidence was that it had many dinosaurian features (such as a long tail, teeth, and claws on its wings), but it also had bird-like features (such as modern flight feathers).
