“One jawbone was particularly immense in size”, there are a lot of adjectives that could have been used, but the word “immense” is particularly descriptive.  The Turkish jawbone which you can see a replica of at the “Greater Ancestors World Museum” in Jacksonville Florida is 6 1/2 inches across, while i have read of jaw bones found that were 8 1/2 inches from tmj to tmj. Now that is immense, its a shame we don’t have measurements for this one.
