Named by the American paleontologist Joseph Leidy, Handrosaurus lent its moniker to a huge family of d uck-billed dinosaur- the hadrosaurus-but experts still debate t he original "type fossil" merits its genus designation. Hadrosaurus is about 80 million years ago Hadrosaurus was unearthed in October, 1858    It was execucacted at Haddonfield, New Jersey        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yhlp5_e_G5c
