Hadrosaurus (; from
Greek ἁδρός,
hadros, meaning "bulky" or "large", and σαῦρος,
sauros, meaning "lizard") is a valid
genus of
hadrosaurid dinosaur. The only known
skeleton was discovered in 1858, representing the first dinosaur species known from more than isolated teeth to be identified in
North America. In 1868, it became the first ever mounted dinosaur skeleton.
Hadrosaurus foulkii is the only species in this genus and has been the official
state dinosaur of
New Jersey,
United States since 1991.
