At first I assumed we were dealing with another fake fossil from Red China, but it seems the "Chinese dragon" moniker is promotion. And sure, it seems to have worked, since dozens of media outlets report the story.
Somewhat ironically, the fossil is housed in Scotland! Parallels to the Loch Ness monster are obvious, since Dinocephalosaurus (the "dragon´s" scientific name) was apparently a marine creature.
Well, let´s see for how long this stays in the news...
