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!
Ooh! The "My parents tiled their floor with the jawbone of an early hominid" reddit adventure has another update!

"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."
