gator growth and dinosaurs
This just in, published in a journal that readers of this list may not
regularly consult:
Woodward, Horner, and Farlow. 2011. Osteohistological evidence for determinate
growth in the American alligator. Journal of Herpetology 45: 339-342.
Comparisons are made to dinosaurs and other archosaurs, and the study fuzzies
up the matter of how long after attaining skeletal maturity the beasts might
have lived.
