Berkeley Township officials removed its head because they feared it was in danger of falling off.

The chunk, weighing more than 150 pounds, is being kept somewhere safe.

A special committee, dedicated to saving the dinosaur, is planning a fundraiser to pay for repairs.

The dinosaur has been looking out over Route 9 since the early 1930s.
