Muscle and tendon are generally not considered to be part of the skeleton; therefore, the answers are narrowed down to either cartilage or bone. A timetable of the formation of bones in the human body can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossification see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone#Formation According to the Wikipedia articles, bones form where there is pre-existing connective tissue (cartilage), and bone formation begins during the third month of fetal development, but some bones don't form fully until after birth. More general information about fetal development can be found at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002398.htm
