Believe it or not, New Jersey is a globally important location for paleontology. The first Tyrannosaur skeleton ever found, the predatory Dryptosaurus, was discovered about a mile from our museum in 1866 in Gloucester County. The first nearly-complete skeleton ever found in the world was unearthed right in nearby Haddonfield, New Jersey. Our fossil bed at the museum has yielded more than 100 species of marine and land animals, including the remains of bus-length mosasaurs, marine crocodiles, sea turtles, bony fish, shark teeth, brachiopods, marine snails, and much more.
