Description: At the time of its scientific description in 1858, Hadrosaurus foulkii, found in Haddonfield, NJ was the most complete dinosaur skeleton ever unearthed. When it was placed on exhibit at The Academy of Natural Sciences in 1868, it was the first mounted dinosaur skeleton displayed anywhere in the world. To mark the 150th anniversary of its scientific description, the museum remounts a cast of the 25-foot-long plant-eater as the centerpiece of an exhibit called Hadrosaurus foulkii: The Dinosaur that Changed the World. This exhibition is the first time the full skeleton cast has been displayed in Philadelphia since the 1930s.
