People over 25 have wear and tear on their bones. This is one of the other clues that a forensic anthropologist may be able to use to determine age if the bones belong to a person over age 25.
Cartilage would become worn down, and as a person ages, their bones would become more brittle and prone to fracture. A forensic anthropologist can estimate the age of a sub-adult skeleton by looking at the teeth and jaw.
The epiphyseal fusion and skull sutures found in the skeleton of young adults, however, can be used to conduct a comparative examination. The zigzag "seams" that connect the skull's bones are called sutures. Ectocranial suture analysis is less trustworthy as a method of aging than endocranial suture analysis (within the skull).
