ABOUT HADDONFIELD

New Sign erected at dinosaur site


Every dinosaur skeleton mounted in every museum in the world traces its roots to Haddonfield's Hadrosaurus foulkii. Along with being the first reasonably intact dinosaur skeleton ever found, the New Jersey fossil was also the first dinosaur skeleton ever put on public display.
