Within the field of evolutionary Biology, archaeopteryx is considered the "missing link" between dinosaurs and birds in the evolutionary process. Although it is widely held to be true, there may still be other undiscovered fossils that yield an even closer link between dinosaurs and birds.
Archaeopteryx is considered the most primitive bird. It is, however, an intermediary form and can therefore be classified as both a dinosaur and a bird since its features are characteristic of both types of animal. It has more in common with dinosaurs known as theropods, than it does with modern birds.

No, an Archaeopteryx is a prehistoric bird, while a Phoenix is a mythical bird. Archaeopteryx was not discovered until 1861, while the myth of Phoenix was referred to as early as 170AD. Those who would try to link the two in any way will also be disappointed, as Phoenix was described as very large, while the largest of the Archaeopteryx specimens was only about the size of a magpie.
