Dinosaur Train Geocache: Corythosaurus 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This cache has been archived.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: Corythosaurus


Corythosaurus was a large, semi-intelligent, plant-eating, duck-billed dinosaur. It was 33 feet long, 6.6 feet tall at the hips, and may have weighed up to 5 tons. It had a hollow, bony crest on top of its long head, shaped like a helmet with flattened sides.

The crest of Corythosaurus formed from the upper lip bone and the nasal bone. These two bones extend over the skull, taking the nasal passage with them. The nasal passage is folded similar to a woodwind instrument, which allowed Corythosaurus to make sounds.

Corythosaurus had short arms, a long, pointed tail, three-toed, hoofed feet, and mitten-like hands. It walked and ran on two legs, and was a moderately fast dinosaur. Corythosaurus may have gone on all fours to forage for low-lying plants. It had a toothless beak and hundreds of cheek teeth that were used to grind food. Its skin had a pebbly texture.

"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.
