I'll take the opposite end and say it was discovered.

If you "discovered a dinosaur" that was completely mislabeled and of the oldest dinosaurs known to man "hiding in plain sight" - you deserve it.

Well yes. From the article the digging out of the ground part likely happened but maybe a 100 years previously.
