“…In clinical or epidemiological settings, age estimates of fetuses are commonly made in utero using ultrasound measurements (Butt & Lim, 2014) but, in forensic or bioarcheological contexts, fetal growth research and evaluation of gestational age has been hindered by the scarcity of osteological fetal collections (Fazekas & Kósa, 1978;Kósa, 2000). Notwithstanding, some studies have been conducted in the medico-legal area, either by making measurements directly in fresh bone (Piercecchi-Marti et al, 2002), dry bone (Scheuer & Black, 2000), or using medical imaging (Warren, 1999;Adalian et al, 2001;Piercecchi-Marti et al, 2002;Olsen et al, 2002;Carneiro et al, 2013;Gilbert-Barness & Dedich-Spicer, 2004). Fazekas and Kósa's study (1978), a long-standing reference in the osteology of fetuses, encompasses invaluable information, including measurements of most bones from three lunar months to term.…”
