ドリプトサウルスの模式標本 ANSP 9995 は West Jersey Marl Company Pit で発見された。この場所はアメリカ合衆国ニュージャージー州グロスター郡マンツアタウンシップの Hornerstown 層としても知られている。標本は約6700万年前にあたる後期白亜紀マーストリヒチアンに堆積した泥灰土と砂岩の採石場労働者により収集された[3][21]。
ニュージャージー州南方の Hornerstown 層はニュージャージー州中央のニューエジプト層としても知られている。研究からニューエジプト層は海洋ユニットであることが示唆され、チトニアンの Red Bank 層と同様に当時は深海であったと考えられている[22]。ニューエジプト層は、ドリプトサウルスの可能性がある化石が報告されたナイヴェシンク層の上に横たわっている。
