It began millions of years ago.A herd of Maiasaura dinosaurs

died and eventually fossilized in a bone bed in western Montana that was discovered 30 years ago.

Since, scientists, including Holly Woodward Ballard, an Oklahoma State University Cen-ter for Health Sciences assistant professor of anatomy, have been collecting fossils and specimens from the area.

Ballard, who has worked at OSU since 2013, leads research on the population growth of the Maiasaura dinosaur at Montana State University, where she began her doctoral research. The popu-lation study is the largest of its kind to be done on any dinosaur, Ballard said.

Ballard examined the bone tissue of 50 different Maiasaura shinbones, each at different

stages of growth. The number of bone samples makes it the largest population structure of any dino-saur species.

“For the Maiasaura, it was called a population growth study because the samples rep-resented multiple individuals of each stage of growth,” Ballard said. “I got a good idea of the size of the individual at each age. And I got an idea of not only how the Maiasaura species grew, but also the survivorship dynamics.”

By studying the microstruc-ture of the Maiasaura bones, Ballard learned the specimen sexually matured at age 3, but most didn’t survive the first year of life. Another population drop-off occurred between 12 and 14 years, Ballard said.

Ballard started the research in 2007, and her area of interest was studying the bone histol-ogy of post-modern and extinct Archosaurs, which includes dinosaurs, crocodiles and birds.

Ballard chose to study the Maiasaura based on what was already known about how the young began life by walking on two legs and grew to use all four legs. Ballard said with the population growth study, her research team strives to fill in

the rest of the gaps. “I think Maiasaura is a great

animal to be able to learn so much about it,” Ballard said. “The more we learn, the more fleshed out its going to become, the more it’s going to be the poster child for dinosaurs and how we can learn from them.”

Ballard’s work has sparked other research. Christian Heck, an OSU graduate student study-ing the physiology and bone growth in modern animals, spe-cifically armadillos, has worked with Ballard in the field since he was an undergrad at MSU in 2009.

“It was my first experience with paleontology at all, and it just made sense to go out there,” Heck said. “Dr. Ballard is a phenomenal teacher, and she knows so many things that I want to know.”

Ballard’s research co-author, Liz Freedman Fowler, curator of paleontology at the Great Plains Dinosaur Museum and adjunct professor at MSU, studied the evolution of Hadrosaurus, a spe-cies similar to the Maiasaura. Fowler’s other specialty was statistical methods, which is what brought her to the Ma-iasaura project.

“It was really great to see

because we had this data set that was large enough to make a robust model,” Fowler said. “So now we have a growth curve and that curve will demonstrate the average size of Maiasaura and every year of its life. Now, if we just find one bone we know without cutting it open we can estimate how many years old it is. And that is applicable to other close species.”

Fowler made the model using statistical software program called R. Within the growth

curve is where they discovered the Maiasaura reached sexual maturity and when it reached its growth peak. After the dinosaurs reached the peak, the growth curve showed how the Maiasaura began to die much more rapidly.

Ballard is continuing her re-search and plans to take graduate students to the bone bed site in Montana to achieve more work in the study of Maiasaura.

a minor head injury after the bus struck

his bicycle around 1:55 p.m., said Carrie

Hulsey-Greene, OSU Communications as-

sistant director.The bus and the

student were traveling southbound on Monroe Street when Regier began to turn left into the parking lot north of the Henry-Bellmon Research Center. The cause of the accident is under investigation, Hulsey-Greene said.

Regier has been re-leased from Stillwater Medical Center.

Contrary to the myth, the university won’t pay Regier’s tuition,

OSU PARTNERS WITH CITY OF STILLWATER FOR ANNUAL APP CENTER COMPETITION

INSIDERFrom OSU Communications

WE'RE ON SNAPCHAT!

FOLLOW @OKSTATEU TO GET AN INSIDE LOOK AT

#OKSTATE STUDENT LIFE.

OSU App Center. “As this year’s theme

is broad and directly relevant to

student life here in Stillwater, I am

looking forward to seeing a lot of

unique and innovative ideas from

the student body.”

In the first phase of the competi-

tion, named Best App Idea, which

is now open to entries, any OSU

student can submit an idea for an app

that fits the theme. Students with the

top 10 ideas will present storyboards

with their concepts to a panel of judges.

The best two ideas will be awarded $500

each with the remainder winning $250

each.

In the contest’s final phase, or Best Devel-

oped App, which will be held during the spring

2016 semester, teams of students with app

development skills will select one of the two winning

concepts from phase one and create working apps.

The developed apps will be demonstrated to judges

in the competition finals in March. A first place and

runner up will be selected for each concept with

$3,000 awarded to top finishers and $1,000 to the

runner ups.

Idea submission forms can be submitted

online or printed and emailed to

osuappcenter@okstate.edu. Forms can also

be turned in at the App Center in the

Henry Bellmon Research Center on the

OSU campus. The deadline for idea

submission is Nov. 2.

More information about the competi-

tion and the OSU App Center is available at

https://appcenter.okstate.edu/.

The OSU App Center welcomes the City of Stillwater

as the title sponsor for the 4th Annual App Competi-

tion. The competition offers Oklahoma State University

students $10,000 in prize money to generate ideas and

concepts, and develop mobile applications that show-

case creativity and skills based on the contest theme.

The competition is co-sponsored by the Riata Center for

Entrepreneurship in the OSU Spears School of Business.

The theme, “Pioneering Quality of Life for Stillwater

Residents,” reflects the city’s interest in mobile apps

that enhance life for Stillwater residents. The app can

address city services or programs, community and

economic development, tourism, recreation, general city

government or any aspect that improves quality of life in

Stillwater.

“We want to explore all opportunities to en-

hance the quality of life for Stillwater citizens, and

we know OSU students are creative and innova-

tive,” Stillwater Mayor Gina Noble said. “Students

live, work and play in Stillwater, and they under-

stand Stillwater is anything but still. I’m sure they

will produce some great app ideas and concepts

that will benefit our community.”

Currently, the city offers two apps for download. One

is designed for cyclists to record their routes and also

provide data to city transportation planners, and one

is for reporting issues to the city that need to be ad-

dressed. The competition will potentially provide Still-

water with additional apps for use to enrich the user’s

experiences in the city.

“We’re looking for apps that are unique and creative

that no one has thought of yet,” said Sherry Fletcher, Still-

water director of marketing and public relations. “We’re

looking for something that is outside the box.”

“OSU and the App Center are excited to have the City

of Stillwater and the Riata Center sponsoring this year’s

app competition,” said Jai Rajendran, manager of the

"I have always been an English rider but when I came to Oklahoma

State I thought I would try something new. I do barrel racing which is

essentially riding a horse through a series a barrels without knocking any

down. My passion for horses existed before college so I thought it was

a great time to get some competitive experience with the rodeo team.

This team has been extremely helpful and has taught me a lot. I start

competing the weekend after homecoming."CONTEST DEADLINE

The grass needs cutting. My dish-washer is broke, so I gotta get another dishwasher installed. I’ll take the dogs

for a walk, and then I’ll watch some other defensive coordinator go through three-and-a-half hours of gut-wrench-ing hell. I’m gonna enjoy some of it, but there’s just things to do. I haven’t had an off day since July, so I gotta do some things that have been neglected.”

Defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer

Usually I’m with (quarterback) Mason (Rudolph). I try to lead Mason down the

right path. Make sure he’s in the film room, make sure he’s getting better at

studying coverages, teach him a thing or two about throwing the deep ball better. Usually he’s a little distracted. He’s out

chasing ladies all over the place, so I gotta pull him back. Besides that, just

kind of hang out at the house.”Offensive lineman Zach Crabtree

I’m actually in a wedding. One of my buddies, he actually

scheduled his wedding on our bye week for me. I’m his best man. He’s a die-hard Sooner. I’m pretty happy about that.

We grew up together.”Receiver David Glidden

I’m just gonna go home. I’ll see the

family and hang out with my dog.”

Kicker Ben Grogan

I’m going back home to Houston. I’m going for the food, a home-cooked meal, that’s what I miss. I haven’t

had that since May; that’s the last time I’ve been home.”

Defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah
