“The highly anticipated Edelman Fossil Park & Museum of Rowan University will open its doors in March 2025, welcoming guests to an immersive exploration of dinosaurs and other prehistoric species,” the statement said.
Just a few hundred square yards of the 65-acre site have been fully excavated but have still yielded more than 50,000 cataloged marine and terrestrial fossils, from reptilian mosasaurs to sea turtles, sharks, bony fish, coral and clams, the university said. Visitors to the park and museum will be able to dig for fossils and keep many of their finds as souvenirs. Some of the discoveries, however, will be kept for further research. The 44,000-square-foot museum will sit above a former marl quarry.
