}}Wellnhoferia is a genus of early prehistoric bird-like theropod dinosaur closely related to Archaeopteryx. It lived in what is now Germany, during the Late Jurassic. While Wellnhoferia was similar to Archaeopteryx, it had a shorter tail and its fourth toe was shorter than in Archaeopteryx. Andrzej Elżanowski (2001) of the Institute of Zoology of the University of Wrocław, Poland, determined the differences resulted from a "phylogenetic reduction rather than individual variation."[1] The type specimen is the Solnhofen Specimen of Archaeopteryx (BSP 1999). Discovered in the 1960s near Eichstätt, Germany and described in 1988 by Wellnhofer (as a specimen of Archaeopteryx),[2] it is currently located at the Bürgermeister-Müller-Museum in Solnhofen. It was originally classified as a Compsognathus by an amateur collector. Although Elżanowski found significant differences between Wellnhoferia and Archaeopteryx, a 2007 study by Mayr et al. [3] found Wellnhoferia was a specimen of Archaeopteryx lithographica. Senter and Robins (2003), however, supported Elżanowski's naming of a new genus.[4] References1. ^{{cite journal|last=Elżanowski|first=Andrzej |year=2001|title= A new genus and species for the largest specimen of Archaeopteryx|journal= Acta Palaeontologica Polonica|volume=46|issue=4|pages=519–532|url=http://www.app.pan.pl/archive/published/app46/app46-519.pdf}} {{Portal|Dinosaurs|Paleontology}}{{Taxonbar|from=Q138070}}{{theropod-stub}}{{paleo-bird-stub}}2. ^{{cite journal|last=Wellnhofer|first=Peter|title=A New Specimen of Archaeopteryx|journal=Science|year=1988|volume=240|issue=4860|pages=1790–1790|doi=10.1126/science.240.4860.1790}} 3. ^{{cite journal|last=Mayr|first=Gerald|author2=Pohl, Burkhard |author3=Hartman, Scott |author4= Peters, D.
