----------

This is a unique, wild-looking, one-of-a-kind raccoon dog lower jawbone.

It may have traveled from Japan's tallest mountain, Mt. Fuji, to Japan's deepest bay, Suruga Bay, via the Fujikawa River, one of Japan's three fastest-flowing rivers.

The lower jawbone, which governs eating and supports the power to live, possesses an overwhelming strength unlike any other part.

Purified in the Pacific Ocean, the largest ocean on Earth, it was found quietly washed ashore.
