The Chinese were caught tampering with fossils before and people are making sure it doesn't happen again. Just ask National Geographic, they got mud on their face thanks to the Chinese.
No sir. One guy who sold fossils over there glued two different slabs together creating a composite of two different fossils. This was discovered a week after it was announced that a new fossil had been found. It was one fossil, and was over a decade ago. And the guy who did it wasn't even a paleontologist, though he was very good at gluing the slabs together. He was just a guy out to make a lot of money. And ended up in a Chinese jail for his deception. That has nothing to do with this discovery, which was made in a well known fossil bed. Chinese paleontologists are actually very well respected, and have made many important discoveries. Oh, and by the way, co-authors of the discovery include scientists from Belgium, France, and the UK. Who's the idiot now, childboy?

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
