All specimen shown represent bones of the ribs, and chest, and shoulder girdle.
Use your available reference material to answer the following:
- What bone is it?
- What side of the body did it come from?
- What was the possible age of the individual at time of death?
- What morphological features helped you to answer the above questions?
When identifying fragments, keep in mind:
- Fragments of crania, os coxa, and scapula can often appear similar due to their relatively flattened morphology.
- The acromion process on the scapula may look similar to the lateral and medial ends of the clavicle.
- Except for Rib 1, ribs and rib fragments are difficult to identify without a full compliment of rib material.
