The Dinosaur That Fooled the World | BBC Documentary | Horizon

In 1999, one of the most respected journals in the world was duped by an extraordinary hoax. It announced that it had a huge scoop, because it had discovered one of the most sought-after fossils in all history, half-bird, half-dinosaur. It seemed to prove one of the most controversial theories in palaeontology, that dinosaurs had evolved into birds. Eminent scientists appeared to authenticate the fossil, but all was not what it seemed.
