Archaeopteryx lithographica is a specimen of early bird that still shows many traits characteristic of theropod dinosaurs. As such, they are a morphological intermediate between theropods and modern birds, confirming the hypothesis that birds evolved from dinosaurs.
I don't believe it does! The teeth were added after the discovery.

Paleontological and archeological evidence about hominid evolution.
The oldest bird fossil Archaeopteryx is a transitional form between reptiles and birds and is cited as evidence Describe three additional pieces of evidence for this claim?
archaeopteryx competitors where compsognathus
There is no single piece of evidence that definitively disproves evolution. The theory of evolution is supported by a vast amount of evidence from various scientific fields, including genetics, paleontology, and comparative anatomy. Any challenges to the theory of evolution would need to provide substantial evidence and be subject to rigorous scientific scrutiny.

Establishes relative position of sedimentary rock.
how does the fossil record provide evidence for evolution?!
A discovery that shows species appearing suddenly in the fossil record without any preceding ancestors would provide evidence against the theory of evolution. This would contradict the gradual changes in species predicted by evolution.
Archaeopteryx was the first animal discovered that had both defining bird and dinosaur traits, as if it was an evolutionary link (in reality, however, it was only closely related to the ancestor of birds). These traits include feathers, wings, and wishbones of birds, and the long tail, fingers, and teeth of dinosaurs. It was the first evidence that birds evolved from dinosaurs.
There is no direct evidence to suggest that Archaeopteryx hunted in groups. Based on its anatomy and behavior, it is more likely that Archaeopteryx was a solitary hunter, similar to modern birds of prey.
