I remember seeing this the first time round and I assumed it must be some sort of marine fossil that just looked eerily like a human jawbone - it's amazing that it actually is one!

"Gone that torn world of towers. Gone the grey lichen; gone the black ivy. Gone was the labyrinth that fed his dreams. Gone ritual, his marrow and his bane. Gone boyhood. Gone.
It was no more than a memory now; a slur of the tide; a reverie, or the sound of a key, turning."
