Hello and welcome to I know Dino.

I'm Gareth.

So next week we'll go back to talking about dinosaur news, but this week we'll be talking about a special dinosaur in New Jersey called Haddy.

And we also have an interview with the winner of our podcast giveaway from back in March,

Amory, who has gone on two digs, one in Wyoming and one in Alaska, and we also have the dinosaur of the day,

Carcara Dontosaurus. If you're ever in southern New Jersey or even near Philadelphia,

you should try to stop by Haddonfield, New Jersey. That's where you can see Hadrosaurus Foki,

which is the world's first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton.

According to one source, quote, in the summer of 1858, Victorian gentlemen and fossil hobbyist

William Parker Folk was vacationing in Haddonfield, New Jersey, when he heard that 20 years

previous workers had found gigantic bones in a local marl pit. He spent the late summer and fall directing a crew of higher diggers, shin deep in gray slime.

Eventually he found the bones of an animal larger than an elephant,

with structural features of both a lizard and a bird.

This site became quote unquote ground zero for dinosaur paleontology,

and it's marked by a commemorative stone in a small park.

It's actually located at the end of a suburban street, so it's kind of hard to imagine, but also

cool to think that dinosaurs once roamed there.

When Garrett and I went to visit, we met a man and his two-year-old son who lived on the block,

and he told us that kids always leave dinosaur toys on this picnic
