Have other skeletons of Archaeopteryx been found?

Yes, other Archaeopteryx fossils have been discovered: a total of 11, so far. An almost complete skeleton was found in 1861 and was referred to as the “London specimen.” The fossil was the basis for a continuing debate between supporters and detractors of Charles Darwin’s then-newly published theory of evolution.
