Bone Histology and Microanatomy of Alamosaurus sanjuanensis (Sauropoda: Titanosauria) from the Maastrichtian of Big Bend National Park, Texas
- Holly N. Woodward, T. Lehman
- Geology
- 12 September 2009
ABSTRACT Bones of Alamosaurus sanjuanensis were collected from the Upper Cretaceous Javelina and Black Peaks formations in Big Bend National Park, Texas, for use in the first extensive histological… Expand
Osteohistological Evidence for Determinate Growth in the American Alligator
- Holly N. Woodward, J. Horner, J. O. Farlow
- Biology
- 26 September 2011
Abstract An external fundamental system (EFS) is a form of bone microstructure present in the outermost cortex of long bones in animals that have attained skeletal maturity. It indicates an effective… Expand
Modeling growth rates for sauropod dinosaurs
- T. Lehman, Holly N. Woodward
- Biology
- 1 May 2008
Abstract Sauropod dinosaurs were the largest terrestrial animals and their growth rates remain a subject of debate. By counting growth lines in histologic sections and relating bone length to body… Expand
Maiasaura, a model organism for extinct vertebrate population biology: a large sample statistical assessment of growth dynamics and survivorship
- Holly N. Woodward, E. A. Fowler, J. O. Farlow, J. Horner
- Biology
- 1 September 2015
Abstract
Fossil bone microanalyses reveal the ontogenetic histories of extinct tetrapods, but incomplete fossil records often result in small sample sets lacking statistical strength. In contrast,… Expand
Reanalysis of “Raptorex kriegsteini”: A Juvenile Tyrannosaurid Dinosaur from Mongolia
- D. Fowler, Holly N. Woodward, Elizabeth A. Freedman, P. Larson, J. Horner
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 29 June 2011
The carnivorous Tyrannosauridae are among the most iconic dinosaurs: typified by large body size, tiny forelimbs, and massive robust skulls with laterally thickened teeth. The recently described… Expand
Growth Dynamics of Australia's Polar Dinosaurs
- Holly N. Woodward, T. Rich, A. Chinsamy, P. Vickers-rich
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 3 August 2011
Analysis of bone microstructure in ornithopod and theropod dinosaurs from Victoria, Australia, documents ontogenetic changes, providing insight into the dinosaurs' successful habitation of Cretaceous… Expand
Quantification of intraskeletal histovariability in Alligator mississippiensis and implications for vertebrate osteohistology
- Holly N. Woodward, J. Horner, J. O. Farlow
- Biology, Medicine
- PeerJ
- 3 June 2014
Bone microanalyses of extant vertebrates provide a necessary framework from which to form hypotheses regarding the growth and skeletochronology of extinct taxa. Here, we describe the bone… Expand
Mineralized tissues in dinosaurs interpreted as having formed through metaplasia: A preliminary evaluation
- J. Horner, Holly N. Woodward, Holly N. Woodward, Alida M. Bailleul
- Biology
- 2016
Abstract Evolutionary biologists define “metaplasia” as the permanent transformation of a cell identity, and there are many examples of such transformations in living vertebrates (e.g., chondrocytes… Expand
