Holly Woodward Ballard is an Americanpaleontologist andpaleohistologist.
Ballard is a paleohistologist known for her research in the field ofpaleontology, particularly in the study offossil bone tissuemicrostructures to understand the growth and development ofextinct animals.[1][2]
Ballard's research assessesontogenetic growth and intra-specific variation in extincttetrapods primarily through large-sample long-bonepaleohistology, with a focus onnon-avian dinosaurs. She also examines the intra-skeletalontogenetichistology of extanttetrapods to improve understanding of bone tissue microstructures for use as a foundation in paleohistological interpretations.[3][4][5]
Ballard's notable publications include:
