Oklahoma University Student Researched What He Thought Was a 'Chicken From Hell.' Instead He Discovered a New Dinosaur
An Oklahoma university student thought he was studying a “chicken from hell” dinosaur, but testing revealed he had actually discovered a new dinosaur.

Kyle Atkins-Weltman, an anatomy and vertebrate paleontology Ph.D. student in the School of Biomedical Sciences at Oklahoma State University, was studying a collection of foot and leg bone fossils when he made the exciting discovery. He initially believed the fossils belonged to a juvenile Anzu wyliei — described as a “chicken from hell" — but it turned out he was handling a previously unknown dinosaur, the university announced.
