'The jawbone was intact, but the condition was deteriorated indicating the jawbone was several years old,' the release said. Marshall County Sheriff Joel Phillips said the bone was in 'remarkable' condition when it was found.
A jawbone found near the Iowa River during a biological survey on Aug. 10, 2022. Officials said it likely belongs to a prehistoric Native American man.
The archaeologist's office found that the mandible was likely from a middle age or older male"prehistoric Native American,"Lara Noldner, bioarcheology director at the Office of the State Archeologist, said the office has not yet determined the exact age of the remains.
