The truth of rings?


I wonder if the growth rings appearing in dinosaur dinosaur (dī`nəsôr) [Gr., = terrible lizard], extinct land reptile of the Mesozoic era. The dinosaurs, which were egg-laying animals, ranged in length from 2 1-2 ft (91 cm) to about 127 ft (39 m).  bones ("Growth Spurt growth spurt Pediatrics A period of rapid growth in middle adolescence; ♀ ↑ ±8 cm/yr ±age 12; ♂ ↑ ±10 cm/yr ± age 14; GS is orderly, affecting acral parts–ie, hands and feet grow before proximal regions, : Teenage tyrannosaurs packed on the pounds" SN: 8/14/04, p. 99) are analogous to those of trees, which are determined by the annual climatic cycle. Is it possible that the dinosaur rings were created on a different time cycle? JAMES HENDRY James Hendry (September 25, 1885 – September 9, 1945) was Regius Professor of Midwifery at the University of Glasgow from 1943 until his death in 1945.

In 1885, Hendry was born at Beith, Ayrshire, to John Hendry, a butcher, and his wife Maggie Allan.
