OK, it appears to be a real fossil, but boy oh boy...
They located the dinosaur’s skull the following day. Jordan Hall was digging with a pick axe when he hit bone and a piece flew up toward Taylor’s ear. Taylor caught the flying bone fragment, examined it and recognized sinus cavities in it.
Taylor was not happy about the sloppy work Pete and his sons had done. The vertebral column had been badly undercut, and, fearing damage, he was furiously repacking dirt beneath the fragile bones. To all within earshot, particularly the DeRosas, Taylor explained that paleontologists never remove dirt from directly under dinosaur bones until they are encased in plaster, stressing that without the support they could easily break.

Perhaps the saddest thing about this situation is the tragically missed opportunity to glorify God it represents for the Creationist Movement. All too typically in the Christian community, what began in unity ended in disagreement and division, and, instead of benefiting all the groups involved and contributing significantly to the creation science, this God-given opportunity was used to enhance the work of a selfish few and received scant attention from genuine creation scientists. If the kind of selfishness and infighting characterized by this episode continues to take place when a valuable fossil is found by members of the body of Christ, it is likely that creationists will have little to contribute to the debate between creation and evolution for decadesto come, at least when it comes to the field of paleontology—often called the most evolutionistic of the sciences
