1. Hadrosaurus

   Hadrosaurus (; lit. 'bulky lizard') is a genus of hadrosaurid ornithopod dinosaurs that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous Period in what is now the Woodbury Formation about 80 million to 78 million years ago. The holotype specimen was found in fluvial marine sedimentation, meaning that the corpse of the animal was transported by a river and washed out to sea. They were large animals ranging from 7 to 8 m (23 to 26 ft) and 2 to 4 t (2.2 to 4.4 short tons). Most of the preserved elements are very robust, unusual traits in hadrosaurs. Hadrosaurus were ponderously-built animals equipped with keratinous beaks for cropping foliage and a specialized and complex dentition for food processing. Hadrosaurus foulkii, the only species in this genus, is known from a single specimen consisting of much of the skeleton and parts of the skull. The specimen was collected in 1858 from the Woodbury Formation in New Jersey, US, representing the first dinosaur species known from more than isolated teeth to be identified in North America. Using radiometric dating of bivalve shells from the same formation, the sedimentary rocks where the Hadrosaurus fossil was found have been dated at some time between 80.5 and 78.5 million years ago. In 1858, the only known specimen became the first-ever dinosaur skeleton to be mounted. In 1991, H. foulkii became the official state dinosaur of New Jersey.

1. hadrosaurus

   Hadrosaurus is a genus of herbivorous dinosaur that existed during the late Cretaceous period. It is known mostly from a single specimen representing one species, Hadrosaurus foulkii, which was discovered in North America around the mid 19th century. The name Hadrosaurus means "bulky" or "large" lizard. It was characterized by a long body, up to eight meters in length, bipedal locomotion, and a small head with a beak for eating plants. It is notably the first dinosaur in North America to have been mounted on public display.
