title: The solnhofen limestone and the preservation of Archaeopteryx.
abstract: In alleging that Archaeopteryx is a fake, Hoyle and others marvel at how such a fossil could be the result of natural processes. But the peculiarities of Archaeopteryx's preservation, which they cite as evidence that the feathers cannot be genuine, are features shared with the many other fossils from the Solnhofen limestone.
