Can you name any other fake primitive bird from China that managed to temporarily fool a couple of paleontologists?
My bet is that he can't name any fake, primitive bird from anywhere that fooled paleontologists.
Archaeoraptor did fool a few amateurs, but the first qualified paleontologists who examined the fossil recognized it as a fake at first glance. They proved it with CT scans and concluded that the fossil was composed of 3 to 5 separate fossils.
One sad thing, the forward part was of a previously unknown primitive bird, while the hind part was from a previously unknown maniraptorian, theropod dinosaur.
In short,
Archaeoraptor didn't fool any qualified paleontologist.
