Maiasaura, a model organism for extinct vertebrate population biology: a large sample statistical assessment of growth dynamics and survivorship (2015, background): “A novel approach is to explore whether growth hiatus duration lengthens with increasing age, since duration changes by latitude and with photoperiod manipulation (Joanen and McNease 1987; Lance 1989; Wilkinson and Rhodes 1997; Castanet et al. 2004).”
Growth Record and Histological Variation in the Dorsal Ribs of Camarasaurus sp. (Sauropoda) (2014, methodology): “Nearly all slides show the phenomenon of double layers (Castanet and Smirina, 1990; Castanet et al., 1993, 2000, 2004; Castanet, 1994), i.e., two LAGs that are very close together with no visible structures of primary bone tissue between them (Fig.”
Time recording in bone microstructures of endothermic animals; functional relationships (2006, background): “In this taxon, growth marks are generally recorded from teeth (mainly from cementum), although in many species, marks also appear in the bone cortices [28] and can be used for time assessment [8].”
