This mandible's outer wall is missing along one side, exposing the alveolar interior with both erupted teeth above and a row of developing teeth within the bone below. Both rami remain intact. The mix of erupted and developing teeth may suggest a young individual with mixed dentition.

A useful teaching specimen for dental anthropology, dental development, and forensic osteology, or a study piece for collectors interested in tooth eruption.

We believe education is the greatest gift osteology can share and that every human specimen can contribute to the advancement of science. These specimens are provided to us by retired physicians, medical researchers, dental professionals, and former university medical programs. We also work with accredited donor programs. A small sample - often antiques that simply do not qualify for medical/research grade usage - are made available to osteology enthusiasts worldwide so that they may continue to educate and inform.
