The bones belonged to a duckbilled dinosaur, Hadrosaurus foulkii, which later became New Jersey's "state dinosaur". The Hadrosaurus foulkii roamed the forests and swamps along the bays of New Jersey's ancient sea coast. The bones went on to become the first mounted dinosaur skeleton. The pamphlet also tells you where you can see the dinosaur skeleton today.
