This study introduces the morphological changes of rib as a new method for age estimation by direct observation.The samples consisted of 107 Chinese adult males known age 17-76. The ribs were assigned to one of nine phases(Ⅰ-Ⅸ), based on the changes noted at sternal rib, spinal rib ,spinalrib, and surfaces of the ribbody.The result showed that age estimation from rib is a very good method to determine the age at death.
