New Research Rewrites the Life History of the World’s Most Famous Dinosaur The largest study ever conducted on the growth of Tyrannosaurus rex reveals that the dinosaur took a far longer and slower route to adulthood than scientists had previously believed. For many years, researchers have estimated the age and growth rate of Tyrannosaurus rex by examining annual growth

Searching for dinosaur secrets in crocodile bones Until now, estimating how old a dinosaur was when it died has been a fairly simple process: Count up the growth rings in the fossilized bones. But new research into some of dinosaurs' living relatives, like crocodiles, suggests that this method may not always work.
