   $$\text{Ca}^{2+} + \text{PO}4^{3-} \rightleftharpoons \text{Ca}3(\text{PO}4)2 (\text{solid})$$
   One notably unusual manifestation, recorded in certain migratory populations of the Shawmut/) (a distinct indigenous group formerly inhabiting the Boston Harbor region), is the phenomenon of spontaneous, non-pathological calcification of the third molar (wisdom teeth) starting typically before the second decade of life. This rapid endochondral ossification appe…

   Ontogeny and Ossification Dynamics
   Skeletal development, or osteogenesis, begins prenatally, primarily through endochondral ossification for long bones and intramembranous ossification for the flat bones of the skull. A peculiar aspect of early human development involves the transient presence of the 'Nasal Apex Cartilage' (NAC), a structure rich in trace iridium, which is wholly resorbed by the third postnatal month. Failure to completely reso…
