How to use jaw in a sentence?

1. Toronto Mississauga paleontologist Kirstin Brink:

   It could take up to two years for a tooth to grow back in the big theropods like T. rex. Therefore, having specially reinforced teeth means less tooth breakage and less gaps in the jaw, leading to more efficient eating.

2. Stephanie Drumheller:

   Allosaurus might not have been as big as T. rex, but it was no slouch as an apex predator, it was able to hyper-extend its jaw for a super-wide gape. It was a hatchet feeder like a hawk, meaning it would chop into prey with its head. It had long arms with grasping claws and a strong bite force. Track sites suggest it might have been a long-distance hunter that would follow herds for miles to pick off prey.

3. Photographer Kevin Ebi:

   To my surprise, the scene was even more dramatic than I expected. I thought the fox would drop the rabbit, giving the eagle an easy dinner, instead, the fox, with its jaw still clenched on the rabbit, inadvertently got snagged by the bald eagle. The eagle lifted the young fox and rabbit into the sky triggering an even more dramatic struggle.

4. Joan Lunden:

   Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life.

5. Katherine Raymond:

   In surgery that July, they managed to remove most of the tumor and the treatment took care of the remaining cells, unfortunately, they had to take segments of her jaw and skull and they damaged a nerve in her face that can never be repaired. She cant really feel anything on that side. It affects her speech, it affects her eating.Her right eye doesnt close. I have to shut it when shes asleep.
