Che 113- lecture 15- forensic anthropology continued and forensic ecology. You can estimate one"s age (birth-25) by looking at the erupted teeth. Which teeth have or have not come in. Part of the bone separated from the main body of the bone by a layer of cartilage and subsequently uniting with the bone through further ossification. Long bones classify and can approximate age of the victim. The size of the bone can estimate the age of victim. Progression of a disease can also estimate the age of the victim. Best are the long bones (femur, tibia) Tells you the approximate height of a victim. Trauma takes quite a bit of time to heal. Blood escapes from ruptured blood vessels and form a hematoma. Spongy bone forms in regions close to developing blood vessels and fibrocartilage forms in more distant regions. Osteoclasts remove excess bony tissue, restoring new bone structure much like the original. The wear of bones can also identify.
