LAKERS Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 (edited) I was recently collecting down on the south fork of the nemaha river, looking through the glacial till gravel, and discovered this very well preserved jawbone. I am unsure of its age or species. Any information would be great to have. I can post other angles of it if needed Edited May 4, 2019 by LAKERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
