This study explores the use of marginal growth rings in crustose lichens, specifically Ochrolechia parella, as a method for lichenometry to estimate growth rates and thallus age. Preliminary findings indicate that these growth rings, which may represent annual growth, can provide insights into growth fluctuations and potentially serve as a dating tool in areas lacking calibration control. The research includes measurements from thalli in North Wales and Iceland, suggesting a correlation between ring width a
