Looks like a hideous double row of teeth, but this of course is what goes on when kids' adult teeth are coming through.

@pluckingoutbuckshot -- not at all, go for it. (sorry for the slow reply)

can't be a child. child teeth have no roots.
in this case, first teeth have roots.
i think it's a case of third dentition.
so, it should be an old person, more than a child.
what do you think, people ?

definitely a child

ok :)
what's your argumentation ? the siza of the skull, maybe. & if, shouldn't it be a small personn.
how do you explain the roots on the first teeth ?
regards :)

Deciduous/baby teeth do have roots. As the permanent teeth move up, they dissolve the roots so that the tooth loosens and can fall out easier.

Based on the fact that this skull has two permanent teeth just erupting on the bottom, I would say this is a five to six year old child.

My daughter's teeth were at this stage of maturation when she was five and a half years old: the front two bottom incisors were gone and halfway replaced by the adult teeth, and all the other baby teeth were present. She, and everyone else in her first grade class, were missing the top two incisors by the spring of their first grade year, and now at the beginning of second grade, most of them have their top two adult incisors. She is seven, and has only lost those four. My middle school students have lost and replaced all four top and bottom incisors, and seem to be at all different places for their canines and bicuspids.

I wish I could also see what infants look like before their teeth come through. Those canine teeth are so painful.

dorthypacker1 - my understanding is that you are born with baby teeth and then the adult teeth form within the first two years. So this appears normal for a 5 or 6 year old.
