Hadrosaurus Foulkii Leidy Site, Paleontological excavation site in Haddonfield, New Jersey, United States.
The Hadrosaurus Foulkii Leidy Site spans 4 acres of protected land where the first complete dinosaur skeleton in North America was discovered.
William Parker Foulke uncovered the fossilized bones in 1858, leading to groundbreaking research by paleontologist Joseph Leidy at the Academy of Natural Sciences.
The discovery of this duck-billed dinosaur skeleton transformed scientific understanding and public interest in paleontology throughout North America.
Visitors can access the landmark site through the eastern section of Maple Avenue in Haddonfield, marked by commemorative plaques and informational displays.
The excavated bones enabled scientists to create the first mounted dinosaur skeleton display in 1868, establishing new standards for museum exhibitions.
