Caught in the act of evolution, the odd-looking, feathered dinosaur was becoming more vegetarian, moving away from its meat-eating ancestors.
It had the built-for-speed legs of meat-eaters, but was developing the bigger belly of plant-eaters. It had already lost the serrated teeth needed for tearing flesh. Those were replaced with the smaller, duller vegetarian variety.

What was this a transition between? To posit this as a transitional animal is going way beyond the available facts.

Don't these things just about always turn out to be fakes?

I've heard of fosilized bones (of course) but here we have fossilized events:
...moving away from its meat-eating ancestors.
...was developing the bigger belly of plant-eaters.
It had already lost ...
From a fossil, you know what it had had? You know what it would have? Only if you make assumptions based on what you expect to see. This is not proof or anything like it. This is people seeing what they want to see. Might be true. Might not.

Transitioning between a rather dumb reptile and a modern Creationist. Devolution at it's scariest.

And here we have an artists interpretation of what the dinosaur would have looked like.

YouBetcha and I wouldn't be surprised if this so-called finding is already years old and has been established as fakes, yet the evols will still release the info as factual. It's amazing that such a great find never has any pictures.
To: MeanWestTexan
Sounds like a beer-belly salad-eating T-Rex with plumage. Hard to get my mind around that one.
To: MeanWestTexan
Dang, two more missing links, one on either side. Someday the evos will give up. The number of missing links is increasing exponentially.

So far every so called transitional fossil of dino to bird has been a fake or turned out not to be transitional at all but a full fledged bird. It is always wise to wait and see how things develop before crowing to loud, having to eat your words later always leaves a bad taste in a persons mouth.
Dino to bird is a pet project of the evo scientists and they have been striving for years to produce a "transitioanl" species. I doubt that this is actually a transitional species. No others have been found for any species so why would a dino to bird fossil be found? Kind of begs the question.
By the way, every other "feathered" dino didn't have feathers at all, and this is a fact but it didn't stop them from claiming they had feathers until the evidence piled up to the point they had to admit it, and before you ask "they" means evo scientists.
Also, for your info I am not a creationists or an evo but a person waiting for the truth, which I doubt we ever find because evolutionists and creationists are both like liberals and will lie to advance their agendas. Thanks for listening.

No. The extremely rare cases of fakery just end up getting a lot more coverage by creationists who tout one fake (that usually was never taken that seriously by real scientists in the first place) amongst thousands of legitimate finds as "proof" that evolution is all nothing but a fraud.

Examples of this happening in the past?
