The texture of fossilized bones allows us to interpret the growth of a dinosaur. Evidence of growth is identified through growth series and modern day comparisons. With growth series, in regards to fossils, a dinosaur’s growth can be examined through a sequence of younger and older fossilized bones to show the process of bone growth of specific dinosaur fossils. With modern day comparisons of animal growth to dinosaur growth, Paleontologists can make hypotheses on how a dinosaur grew through the knowledge of thermoregulation through ectothermy or endothermy. Scientists can make hypotheses on whether or not a dinosaur was an endotherm or an ectotherm, by looking at the environment a dinosaur lived in or by examining the diets of dinosaurs in
