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

growth plate cartilage is similar in
birds and mammals. 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.
