The Pleistocene taxon Paranthropus robustus was established in 1938 following the discovery at Kromdraai B, South Africa, of the partial cranium TM 1517a and associated mandible TM 1517b. Shortly thereafter, a distal humerus (TM 1517g), a proximal ulna (TM 1517e), and a distal hallucial phalanx (TM 1517k) were collected nearby at the site, and were considered to be associated with the holotype. TM 1517a‐b represents an immature individual; however, no analysis of the potentially associated postcranial elements has investigated the presence of any endostructural remnant of recent epiphyseal closure. This study aims at tentatively detecting such traces in the three postcranial specimens from Kromdraai B.

重新评估南非Kromdraai B的TM 1517牙后-颅后组合，以及健壮副对虾的成熟模式。

在南非Kromdraai B发现部分颅骨TM 1517a和相关的下颌骨TM 1517b之后，更新世分类群Paranthropusrobustus于1938年成立。此后不久，在该部位附近收集了肱骨远端（TM 1517g），尺骨近端（TM 1517e）和幻觉指骨远端（TM 1517k），并认为它们与整型有关。TM 1517a-b代表未成熟的个体；然而，没有对可能相关的颅后元件的分析调查过最近的骨eal闭合是否存在任何内膜残留。这项研究的目的是临时检测Kromdraai B的三个颅后标本中的此类痕迹。
