This short video is of only the statue.
The marl pit is located in Haddonfield NJ, this is the location that the Hadrosaurus was found in. The site was designated as a National Historic Landmark back in 1994. There is a bench adjacent to the location that people have placed toy dinosaurs on. The dinosaur was discovered in 1858 and was a benchmark find since at the time it was the most complete skeleton found. Also in 1868 it became the first skeleton to be mounted in a museum.
35 bones were found during the dig and about 20 bones were found previously that were given away as souvenirs and door stops.
The bones currently reside at the Academy of Natural Sciences after the mount was dismantled in the 1930's.
The HADROSAURUS FOULKII was in the late Cretaceous Period 73 million years ago and was discovered on the John E. Hopkins Farm located in Haddonfield NJ. The Hadrosaurus was a plant eater, which was 20-30 feet long and weighed about 3-4 tons.
In downtown Haddonfield there is a statue of the Hadrosaurus (seen in this video) displayed just off the main road. Everyone can venture to this location and view the statue for themselves.
