Several fossil discoveries have been made which are of organisms better known as 'missing links' but there is no living representative which could be said an intermediate between reptiles and birds.

Most well known of these missing links is the one which was discovered first, in 1861: the Archaeopteryx.

This impression fossil displayed a typical lizard like tail, there were digits ending in claws, in both the limbs but most amazing feature was the feathers covering its body. There was a beak as well.
