The Hadrosaurus foulkii Leidy Site is a historic paleontological site in Haddonfield, Camden County, New Jersey.Now set in state-owned parkland, it is where the first relatively complete set of dinosaur bones were discovered in 1838, and then fully excavated by William Parker Foulke in 1858.
This became both the first mounted dinosaur skeleton ever mounted for public display and also one of the most popular exhibits in the history of the academy. Estimates have the Hadrosaurus exhibit as increasing the number of visitors by up to 50%. [8] 1869. Edward Drinker Cope described the new genus and species Hypsibema crassicauda. [9]

The subsequent discovery of Hadrosaurus and Dryptosaurus fossils in the U.S. state of New Jersey showed that at least some dinosaurs were bipedal, changing the perception that they had resembled ...
This clade excludes basal hadrosaurids such as Hadrosaurus and Yamatosaurus but self-destructs if Hadrosaurus is descended from the last common ancestor of Lambeosaurus and Saurolophus.

William Parker Foulke (1816–1865) discovered the first full dinosaur skeleton in North America (Hadrosaurus foulkii, [1] which means "Foulke's big lizard") in Haddonfield, New Jersey, in 1858.
This became both the first mounted dinosaur skeleton ever mounted for public display but also one of the most popular exhibits in the history of the Academy. Estimates have the Hadrosaurus exhibit as increasing the number of visitors by up to 50%. [20] Also that year, Cope gave Othniel Charles Marsh a tour of the marl pit where Laelaps was found.
