Sankar Chatterjee, a distinguished professor of geology at the Museum of Texas Tech University said
""It probably used some of the techniques used by hang-glider pilots such as running on sloping ground to get thrust or energy, or running with a headwind behind it.""

OK, so we have a professor of geology giving sage analysis on preistoric birds and on flying. Lemme see.. geology.. that's rocks, right?

Ad we know how much rocks evolved, and how well they fly.

Maybe he should stick to his specialty?
