Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 5CAL
Use the following paragraph to answer questions 1–5.
You are called to a crime scene reported in the woods. A hiker found a skeleton underneath some leaves—and as the osteologist of the team, it is up to you to identify the bones, as well as determine the age and sex of the skeleton. You begin examining the skeleton.
5. The police officers also want to know if you can determine the age at death of the skeleton. You determine that all long bone epiphyses have fused to their diaphyses, and all permanent teeth are erupted. The cranial sutures are still open, and the symphysial surface is flattened, but there is no complete rim around the symphysis. Based on these features, a likely age range for the skeleton would be
- a. younger than 10 years.
- b. 10–20 years.
- c. 20–35 years.
- d. 35–50 years.

Bones must be in order.
You are called to a crime scene reported in the woods. A hiker found a skeleton underneath some leaves—and as the osteologist of the team, it is up to you to identify the bones, as well as determine the age and sex of the skeleton. You begin examining the skeleton.
You are part of the radiology team at an ER. A 6 year old child comes in, who may have a broken bone. The ER doc orders an x-ray. You take the x-ray and, and now you have to interpret it. Answer the following questions based on the x-ray. Keep in mind the development of children and how bones grow and fuse.
1. Identify all of the bones you can see in the x-ray.
2. What do you think is happening at the arrow? Is that a fracture or a normal anatomical feature?
3. Explain why you think it is a fracture or anatomical feature.
4. Are there any joints near the arrow? If so what classification do the joints fall into?
