Welcome to Dryptosaurus.com, a site about the world's second
nearly complete dinosaur skeleton. New Jersey has always been
known for it's famous Hadrosaurus foulkii, the world's first dinosaur
skeleton, but what about Dryptosaurus? Although well known to
paleontologists, it is not as well known among the general public.
This animal played an Important roll in the field of paleontology and
It was our first real look at a predatory dinosaur skeleton.
Dryptosaurus once roamed the backyards of the great Garden
State and at a time when dinosaurs flourished. It was a swift alert
animal that very well hunted our famed Hadrosaurus and other
local species. In a world of fast moving technology and change, it
is easy to forget that our land was once ruled by dinosaurs. For
about a 160 million years, they lived through their own ever
changing world. One day, during the last days of the Cretaceous,
they disappeared.
Dryptosaurus and other fossils have been left for us to study in the
rocks and other forms of preservation. Everyday, paleontologist
find more answers to the mysteries that surround our prehistoric
past. Sometimes these answers give rise to more questions, but
that is the beauty of science and paleontology. There is always
something new to explore and it is a field for the student at heart.
