Darwin's Archaeopteryx

Listen to RealMedia Stream

It's a big year for fans of Charles Darwin. His 200th birthday falls in 2009, as does the 150th anniversary of the publication of "On the Origin of Species." One of the iconic fossils that proved Darwin's theory of evolution was recently flown to Stanford University for an unusual test. It's called the Archaeopteryx, and even a visionary like Darwin could not have foreseen how California scientists might one day bombard this fossil with high-tech gadgetry. Reporter: David Gorn
