WHAT WAS IT?A hadrosaur — a large, plant-eating, duck-billed dinosaur. Its teeth were made for processing vegetation.
WHERE DID IT LIVE?A coastal, forested New Jersey, about 81–79 million years ago — nothing like the town there today.
WHO FOUND IT?William Parker Foulke, digging in a Haddonfield marl pit in 1858. Joseph Leidy studied and named it Hadrosaurus foulkii.
WHY DOES IT MATTER?In 1868 it became the first dinosaur skeleton ever mounted for display — and in 1991, New Jersey's official state dinosaur.
