About the Jean & Ric Edelman Fossil Park & Museum
The Jean & Ric Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University will transform
lives by providing a unique opportunity to explore a remarkable site of scientific
wonder. Visitors will embark on a personal, hands-on voyage of discovery in an
extraordinary setting that bears witness to one of the most momentous events in our
planet's history. By opening a window to the past, we imbue visitors with the thrill of
scientific discovery as they develop a new appreciation for the preciousness of life
that sustains our world today.
The museum under construction will become a one-of-a-kind destination that both
educates and entertains. The local community will gain a world-class cultural
institution that will attract visitors from across the country and around the globe. The
fossil park and museum will energize economic development in the region, elevate
the prominence of Rowan University, and foster pride of place for Southern New
Jersey.
Globally Important Research: At the Jean & Ric Edelman Fossil Park & Museum,
visitors travel back in time to when dinosaurs ruled New Jersey. Sixty-six million
years ago, an asteroid struck the Earth, wiping out the dinosaurs and 75% of species.
The fossil park’s 4-acre fossil quarry, set into a 65-acre property, is providing
scientists with the best view ever into this pivotal, calamitous event that ended an
Earth era, paving the way for the modern world as we know it. Over the past 13 years,
fossil park founder, Dr. Kenneth Lacovara, and his team, have unearthed over 100,000
fossils from a 66-million years old bonebed in the quarry bottom, and have cataloged
over 100 fossil species.
A Rich Heritage: Surprising to many, New Jersey boasts a rich heritage of fossil
discovery. In 1858, Hadrosaurus, the world’s first discovered nearly complete dinosaur,
was found in Haddonfield, New Jersey. In 1866, the world’s first discovered
tyrannosaur, Dryptosaurus, was unearthed just a mile from the fossil park. (T. rex,
found in Montana, would come later in 1905.) Many other new species of ancient
creatures have been discovered in New Jersey, from Cretaceous beds running from
Freehold southwest through Swedesboro. Although dinosaurs were first recognized
from fragmentary remains in England, southern New Jersey can rightfully claim its
place as the cradle of dinosaur paleontology.
The Thrill of Discovery: Hand-on, authentic discovery is at the core of the Jean & Ric
Edelman Fossil Park public experience. Above the research layer, there are areas
designated for public digging. Nearly every child or grownup who visits the quarry to
dig for fossils, finds a 65-million-year-old fossil, with their own hands, that they get
to take home. Over and over, this has been a transformational experience for people.
When they make a personal connection between themselves and deep time, and the
place where they live and the Earth’s ancient past, they never again see the world, or
their place in it, in quite the same way. Children seem to understand the authenticity
of the experience. The shark tooth or ancient clam that they may dig up, is a real
discovery. At that moment, they become explorers, voyagers, authentic
discoverers—an experience that can set them on a new path.
Sustainability: The core concept behind the Jean & Ric Edelman Fossil Park Museum
is that we must learn from Earth’s deep past to guide our way into the future. The
Edelman Fossil Park & Museum IT Support Specialist Job Description March 3, 2025
extinction of the dinosaurs serves as a cautionary tale for the multiple, simultaneous
existential crises we face today. In the Hall of Extinction & Hope, visitors will confront
the alarming facts about the unfolding climate and biodiversity crises. And they will
learn why there is hope in the battle to save Earth’s atmosphere and biosphere, and
that we all must act now to create the future that we all wish for our posterity.
Finally, through a personalized RFID system, visitors will connect with sustainability
programs and organizations, giving them a sense of agency and avenues through
which they can make a positive difference.
Carbon Net-Zero and Sustainable Construction: The Jean & Ric Edelman Fossil Park
Museum will be an all-electric building, deriving its energy from zero-carbon
electricity and ground-source heating and cooling. Upon opening, the museum will be
New Jersey’s largest carbon net-zero facility. Further, construction is underway using
reduced carbon concrete, bird-safe glass, and large amounts of embodied carbon
contained within sustainably-raised accoya cladding and wood-fiber-lamination
beams.
At Edelman Fossil Park & Museum, we treasure the diversity of our planet's history and
are committed to reflecting that diversity in our team. Edelman Fossil Park & Museum
is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will
