Actually. The New York Times got its information from an article published in Science. In this report, scientists at the University of Wisconsin had the opportunity to examine the structure of young dinosaur bones discovered in Montana. In order to understand the signi ficance of this report, we need to review some basic concepts of bone growth. In young growing animals and in man, bone grows by two mechanisms, both of which stop at sexual maturity. The first mechan ism causes an increase in bone diameter as the result of the activi ty of the bone cells, osteoblasts and osteoclasts. Osteoblasts form bone on the outside of the shaft while osteoclasts remove bone from the inside of the bone shaft, making it look like a hollow log. , The second mechanism These results provide thoughts involves a thin plate of cartilage at on the future of our poultry indus the ends of the bones. The cartilage try. Most people associated with cells in this tissue go through a life this industry recognize the tre cycle (birth, adolescence, maturi- mendous progress that has been ty, and senility) every 24-48 hours, made in selecting broilers and This process results in increases in turkeys for rapid growth rate and bone length.

However, the avian growth plate is considerably thicker than the mammalian growth plate, having approximate ly four times the number of cells. Furthermore, there are some subtle differences in the arrangement of cells. Back to the dinosaur bones. Until the recent discovery of baby dinosaur bones in Montana, only bones from adults had been exa mined. Since adults no longer have growth plates, comparing dino saurs with other species was impossible. Examination of the baby dinosaur bones showed that the structure of the growth plate closely resembled that of the avian species, not of lizards or mammals. These results strongly support a theory that there is a close evolu tionary relationship between avians and dinosaurs. station.
