Periodic Growth Features in Fossil Organisms and the Length of the Day and Month

  • Chapter
Tidal Friction and the Earth’s Rotation

Abstract

It has long been known that animals and plants reflect environmental rhythms in their tissues. Periodic growth features, such as the annual rings of trees, sheep’s horns, and sea shells, have been used both for calculating the ages of organisms and their growth rates.
