Careful not to confuse these with a microraptor. One will flee in fear, the other will rko you and eat your face

Fun fact: Archaeopteryx means “ancient wing”

Found one before, fell in love. Tried to tame it and then this level 50 enforcer came over and murdered me, Yes this was on extinction.

Make sure you DON'T mistake them for Micros. These dudes run. I've accidentally killed one thinking it was a micro. Always use a spy glass to tell which is which. Finding these cute lil fellas is hard especially with all the thylas and terror birds around. To tame them you'll need Chitin so go kill some ants or dragonflies and then boom you have a lil buddy you can love forever, well y'know until they die or you quit.

Found all over the sanctuary on extinction (the abandoned city)
Where you will also fined lamp posts which can be harvested for a large amount of scrap metal crystal and element dust use a doedicurus for maximum yield , spiders and tapejaras.

These are NOT rare, just hard to find. Keep a close eye on the redwood trees, make sure to circle the trees, and listen for the noise they make.

Alright, so basically I found one of these in the wild and REALLY wanted one. But with all the fun things in the Redwoods willing to take out anything that looks at them... Well you get the idea. But when I went to a dungeon and saw a Eerie one I wanted it SO bad. So I killed that one took its creature implant, revived it at one of the obelisks and tamed that glory bird up. Now I have a light up parachute!

I had made a base in red wood and was up in the trees when I heard a scream, I look around me spot one of these guys are immediately knew that I needed one of these

These guys are very easy to find if you have high tech stuff, however, I don’t, and it’s a lot of work to get them, but I eventually found some, and I sold one at my shop on a online server.

You can also find these in the fuzzy trees in scorched earth by the small mountain
