SPOTLIGHT ON
Alligators, Turkeys and Dinosaurs- Oh My!
What do turkeys, alligators and prehistoric beasts have in common? More than you may
think according to two years worth of ongoing research conducted by Matthew Bonnan, professor of Biology and resident paleontologist, at and Christopher Langel 18.
Using cutting-edge technology in 勛圖窪蹋s Unified Science Center, Bonnan and Langel were able to determine for the first time how the bones in the elbows of the American alligator and domestic turkey move in relation to the shoulder. Their discovery might be able to provide better understanding of how predatory dinosaurs, such as T. rex and Allosaurus, used their forelimbs. Caitlyn Braunschweig 17, Joe Citro 17, Andrew Smythe 18, and current students Elizabeth Douglas and Dianna Marinelli also contributed to these findings.
