Microstructure, growth banding and age determination of a primnoid gorgonian skeleton (Octocorallia) from the late Younger Dryas to earliest Holocene of the Bay of Biscay

Facies, 2007
A fossil primnoid gorgonian skeleton (Octocorallia) was recovered on the eastern Galician Massif in the Bay of Biscay (NE Atlantic) from 720 m water depth. The skeleton shows a growth banding of alternating Mg–calcitic and organic (gorgonin) increments in the inner part, surrounded by a ring of massive fibrous calcite.

The Core Technique in the Determination of Age at Death in Skeletons

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1979
Abstract Determining age at death beyond 50 years in skeletons has posed problems for physical anthropologists, forensic scientists, and archeologists. Morphological aging methods such as pubic symphyseal remodeling [1–5], cranial suture closure [1,2,6,7], and the degree of osteoarthritis [8] are often inaccurate or not appropriate in ...

Stages of Epiphyseal Union for Thoracic and Lumbar Vertebral Centra as a Method of Age Determination for Teenage and Young Adult Skeletons

Journal of Forensic Sciences, 1995
Abstract Many current methods of age determination available to forensic anthropologists are limiting in that the age ranges provided are often broad, particularly for individuals in their late teens to early 20's. This study introduces an improved method for aging teenagers and young adults.

Ossification of the Appendicular Skeleton in the Spanish Ibex Capra pyrenaica Schinz, 1838 (Artiodactyla: Bovidae), with Regard to Determination of Age

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 2004
SummaryWe studied ossification macroscopically in 35 Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) appendicular skeletons in order to establish the skeletochronology in both sexes of the species. The age of animals had been determined by means of horn segment counts, teeth replacement and cementum layer counts from first incisors and ranged from <1 to 12 years ...

The age of a stone age human skeleton determined by means of root dentin transparency

Norwegian Archaeological Review, 1993
Age determination at death of skeletal remains can prove difficult. The teeth are often well preserved and could present the only means for an age evaluation. Based on the closure of skull sutures and dental attrition, the age of a Stone Age man was judged to be about 60 years when he succumbed.

Determination of Age of Intrauterine Life of Foetus by Examination of Long Bones of Skeleton

Indian Journal of Forensic Medicine & Toxicology, 2015
Causing death to a human being is a heinous crime. Infanticide is no exception to this. More so it is easier to dispose dead foetus in the normal Indian condition, where water bodies like lake, river, rivulets and some amount of jungle are rampant. In such conditions the medicolegal experts faces a lot of challenges as police often gets a bundle of ...

Brief communication: Testing the usefulness of the basilar suture as a means to determine age in great ape skeletons

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2010
AbstractA fused/closed basilar suture is usually treated as an indication of old age in great apes. A sample, drawn from a variety of sources, of known‐aged captive great ape skeletons was analyzed to test the usefulness of using the basilar suture to categorize adult skeletons as either “adult” or “old adult”.

[Determination of age based on the skeleton].

Zeitschrift fur Rechtsmedizin. Journal of legal medicine, 1987
A skeleton is reported that was found 40-100 cm under the surface of the earth; the light, porous bones had partially fallen to pieces. The most remarkable point was the discrepancy between the age of the bone and that of the teeth: based on the bones, the age of the living human being was about 30-40 years; on the basis of the teeth, however, the ...

[Age determination of pre- and postnatal skeletons with special reference to current methodological aspects].

Anthropologischer Anzeiger; Bericht uber die biologisch-anthropologische Literatur, 1999
From the remains of ten fetal and neonatal skeletons the standard methods of age estimation by means of dental and osseous criteria as well as diaphyseal length were applied and discussed. The ratio of long bone lengths and change of proportions during the first and second half of pregnancy is a useful indicator for the stage of maturation.

[Methods in age determination in human skeletons exemplified by inhumation and cremation burials of the Hallstatt period].

Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie, 1992
Discussed were the usual methods presently applied in anthropology for determining a person's age at death by means of specific characteristics of the human skeleton. The inhumation and cremation burials from two tumulus cemeteries of the Hallstatt period (750-500 BC), Dietfurt and Schirndorf, which are both located in the Upper Palatinate, Bavaria ...
