Summary

[edit]
Description
English: One of the mandibles of Homo naledi shortly after recovery from the Dinaledi Chamber. Note the excellent state of preservation and the cave sediment still adhering to the specimen. The network of cracks visible across the body and ramus of the mandible were caused by compression of the bone by sediment, and cycles of repeated wetting and drying of the bone within the chamber.
