We have to have pictures. I like pictures. I really like this picture (it doesn't really have anything to do with my research except having teeth). This is part of a series of photographs of dissected skulls taken by Drs Tom Lakars and John Wheeler at the UIC College of Dentistry in 1976. This particular photograph is of a 5 year old child. You can clearly see his permanent upper right canine and mandibular first molar, neither of which has erupted. This is an awesome picture, and if I were writing a paper about ageing a skeleton based on dental evidence, I'd go on more about it, but mostly I just like the picture. It's fascinating.
