		Hadrosaurus lived on the coast of what is now New Jersey, U.S.A., in the late Cretaceous period - around 80 million years ago.
		In the same year, the species was named by paleontologist Joseph Leidy in the same year, from an almost complete set of limbs, along with a pelvis, several part of the feet, twenty-eight vertebrae (including eighteen from the tail), eight teeth and two small parts of the jaw.

	NJDEP - New Jersey Geological Survey - Hadrosaurus foulkii
		A duckbilled dinosaur, Hadrosaurus foulkii roamed the forests and swamps along the bays of New Jersey's ancient seacoast.
		Hadrosaurus is a famous dinosaur because it was the most complete dinosaur skeleton unearthed anywhere in the world when it was discovered and scientifically documented in 1858.
		Hadrosaurus foulkii became the official State dinosaur of New Jersey in 1991 after years of hard work by a teacher, Joyce Berry, and her fourth grade classes at Strawbridge Elementary School in Haddon Township.

	Harosaurus foulkii: The Creature
		A massive bronze sculpture of Hadrosaurus foulkii was installed in a new dinosaur garden in the center of Haddonfield on Oct. 18, 2003.
		n life, Haddonfield's Hadrosaurus foulkii was as much as 10 feet tall at the hips and as long as 23 feet from its nose to the tip of its tail, according to paleontological authorities at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia.
		It was a member of the dinosaur family that later became known as "duckbills" because of the bird-like nature of their jaws and skull structure.

		Its remains were first unearthed on a farm near Haddonfield in 1838, and with the display of its reconstructed skeleton at the Philadelphia Academy of Sciences 30 years later, the science of North American paleontology was born.
		Casts of the skeleton were soon exported to Europe, and museums around the world began to display their own dinosaur skeletons, delighting the public and giving them their first glimpse into the Age of Dinosaurs.
		Because of its obvious historical importance, Hadrosaurus foulkii was designated the New Jersey state dinosaur on June 13, 1991.

		Hadrosaurus foulkii was up to 30 feet long from the tip of its nose to the tip of its tail, but despite such bulk, the animal was not particularly ferocious.
		Much the same as a large, placid cow, it was a plant eater that browsed leaves and branches along the marshes and shrub lands of the Atlantic coast.
		After the flesh decayed, the bones absorbed minerals, surviving intact as a skeleton until about 70 million years later when a Haddonfield workman wrenched one from sticky marl, hefted it aloft into harsh sunlight and wondered aloud what it could possibly be.

	Dinosaurs of New Jersey
		A partial skeleton of Hadrosaurus minor, and a number of isolated bones have been found there over the years, including those of a Dryptosaur.
		The Hadrosaurus foulkii find was especially unlikely, since the entire carcass had to float out to sea and become buried before it was torn apart by scavengers.
		Bones and teeth of Hadrosaurus and Dryptosaurus were found, along with extremely rare mammal and amphibian remains.

		(pronounced HAD-roh-SAWR-us) Hadrosaurus (meaning "bulky lizard") was a duck-billed dinosaur, a 23 to 32 feet (7 to 10 m) long ornithischian from the late Cretaceous period.
		Hadrosaurus was discovered by W. Foulke and excavated and named by anatomist J. Leidy in 1858 from a skull-less skeleton and hundreds of teeth found in New Jersey.
		Although the Hadrosaurids are named for this genus, Hadrosaurus is a doubtful genus because there is so little fossil information about it (including no skull).

		The bones were officially presented to the academy in December, and Leidy used the occasion to unveil the results of his study of the specimen.
		The skeleton was apparently exhibited at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893 and was subsequently donated to that city’s newly organized Field Museum of Natural History, where it remained until the museum moved to new quarters a decade later.
		Dominating the entrance to the hall is a cast of the original partial Hadrosaurus skeleton, stripped of Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins’s imaginative additions and displayed within a silhouette of the whole animal.

		Leidy also noted the difference between the short front legs and the powerful hindlegs, concluding that 'this great extinct herbivorous lizard may have been in the habit of browsing, sustaining itself, kangaroo-like, in an erect position'.
		In 1868 Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins made a restoration of the skeleton for an ill-fated display in New York's Central Park (along similar lines to that in Sydenham Park, London).
		Most of Hawkins American restorations were destroyed, but the Hadrosaurus survived and is displayed by the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia (where the original find had been housed).

		Visitors can still climb down crude paths into the 30-foot, vine-entangled chasm to stand in an almost primordial quiet at the actual marl pit where the imagination of all mankind was exploded outward to embrace the stunning fact that our planet was once ruled by fantastically large, bizarrely shaped reptilian creatures.

		The most dramatic was artist Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins cast of the Hadrosaurus, later considered an inaccurate reconstruction.
		To serve as bases for the massive plaster models of Hadrosaurus, Megatherium, and others, the old slant-topped cases were modified.

		Leidy recognized the fossils as belonging to a dinosaur like Iguanodon, and he named it Hadrosaurus foulkii, after the discoverer and benefactor.
		Leidy's 1858 paper was not illustrated, but in 1865 he published a large monograph that did contain a fairly complete series of plates depicting most of the hadrosaur bones.
		Around 1868, Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins made a restoration of the skeleton for the Academy of Natural Sciences; click here to see a photograph of this restoration.
