Dinosaur Train Geocache: Parasaurolophus Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: From the Northern Region Office, New Jersey State Parks Department:


Over a year ago New Jersey enacted a policy that all geocachers must obtain a permit to have their cache on State Park property. We have informed all geocaching host that this is their responsibility and have given them ample time to go about getting their permits. At this time, over a year later, there are still several caches that haven’t complied.

We ask that as the land managers for the attached properties we would like to have these illegal caches removed.


Based on the list provided by the state, I am forced to archive this listing. If you have a permit, get a permit or don't believe your cache is on state park/forest land, please contact me via email. Make sure you include the GC code.

If you don't plan to get a permit, please remove your geocache so it doesn't become geo-trash.

Dinosaur Train Geocache: Parasaurolophus


Parasaurolophus was a large herbivore that lived in the late cretaceous period. Parasaurolophus is a hadrosaur. Hadrosaurs are a species of dinosaur with a duck bills.

Parasaurolophus had a crest that looked liked a pole with a curve on the end. These crest could have been used to make loud calls to herd its mates. Also they could have been used as identification. Parasaurolophus is known as the trumpet dinosaur.

Parasaurolophus was first discovered in Alberta Canada. Later on, more Parasaurolophus fossils were found in New Mexico. Scientists noticed as more Parasaurolophus fossils were found, that the different fossils from different places crests were slightly different. The crest of Parasaurolophus could be from 3-5 ft. long. Paleontologists think that usually the females had shorter crests than the males.

"Go outside, get into nature and make your own discoveries!" That is what Dr. Scott challenges his viewers to do at the end of each Dinosaur Train episode.
