Sea Turtle Aging

Sea Turtle Aging is a scientific method in marine herpetology that determines the chronological age of sea turtles through the analysis of growth rings in skeletal or tissue structures, distinguishing it from other age-assessment techniques by its reliance on incremental deposition patterns specific to marine reptiles.
