RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
The sequence of tooth eruption in Sarcophilus harrisii was found to follow an anterior- posterior sequence with two exceptions. The first incisors of the upper jaw did not erupt until the cessation of suckling at about 200 days and the canines did not appear until after the commencement of molar eruption.
Although considerable variation exists in the time and sequence of eruption of the teeth, the age of the young can be determined using shank length and weight in combination with the status of the teeth.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
