The jaw was nearly drowned by rising tar levels, and carbon deposits remain trapped in the shell. > > Stress markers in the jaw's shell indicate increasing distress over the final period of its life. The organism produced and sequestered volumes of lye, but it is unclear if this was a result of changing metabolic processes or a defensive adaptation. > > Death occurred when the jaw's body was pulled away from its shell—first in a series of wounds, then a wholesale excision. > > *Source: Scan the Dead Great Jaw*
