Florida's state dinosaur is the Hadrosaurus, specifically the species Hadrosaurus foulkii. This dinosaur was a type of duck-billed herbivore that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. It was designated as the state dinosaur in 1988, symbolizing Florida's rich paleontological history and the fossil discoveries made in the state. The Hadrosaurus is notable for its unique features, including a flat, broad head and a strong, powerful body.
In 1838, John Estaugh Hopkins was digging and found some interesting bones, which he displayed in his home. In 1858, William Parker Foulke saw the bones. He was interested and dug up the rest of the skeleton. That was the discovery of Hadrosaurus.
New Jersey does not have an official state dinosaur. While several states in the United States have designated official state dinosaurs to celebrate their prehistoric heritage, New Jersey has yet to select one. However, it's worth noting that the state has a rich fossil record, particularly from the Late Triassic period, when dinosaurs roamed the region. Some notable dinosaur fossils discovered in New Jersey include those of the small theropod dinosaur known as Coelophysis, which lived approximately 200 million years ago. Despite not having an official state dinosaur, New Jersey's paleontological history is still fascinating and offers a glimpse into the ancient life that once thrived in the area.
The duck billed donosaur is the state fossil.
Stegosaurus became the state dinosaur of Colorado in 1982. Stegosaurus probably was chosen as the state dinosaur because it was discovered in Colorado, and it's an extremely famous type of dinosaur.
