Haddonfield and Beyond: NJ Dinosaurs - Words and Coffee

In 1858, the first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton was discovered in Haddonfield, NJ by a farmer digging in his backyard. The discovery also played a role in the Bone Wars, an infamous feud between scientists Cope and Marsh. Since then, hundreds more fossils have been discovered and unearthed.
