we look at), but you won’t need the specifics of females having rounder eye orbits or anything that
detailed
Identity markers for age- again, know generally that for children we look at wrist bones and teeth, for
older adolescents and young adults we can look at fusion of the epiphyseal plates- you don’t need to
know specific ages
Height can be identified using long bones
Metatheria, Protoheria, and Eutheria- the three groups of mammals
