This is the real killer. Everything Jones just told Annie contradicts Coyote's theory of human thought being the source of the supernatural. Apparently Annie was told something about Jones from Yes, but she didn't realize the extent of it until just now.
I think the time travel theory is highly unlikely. My theory is that Jones is an inversion of Coyote's theory, a supernatural being whose thoughts indirectly caused life to come into existence and humanity to be created (explaining how she can appear human and act passably human, but predate humanity).

Jones has been pantomiming her backstory throughout this entire flashback. She just got to the part where she strips naked.

More specifically, she's naked from the waist up and is pantomining how she wrestled a buffalo.
And Antimony is the buffalo.

More and more, I get the feeling that Jones has no idea who Jones is. That the fact that a species that just happened to look like her appeared after billions of years is a mystery to her too.
(/* has only a tangental knowledge of the other series)
Badass Princess?
Heavy Princess?
More likely she's not a Princess and is more like Billy.

You say this as if that kind of thing ever stopped humans from getting it on with mythological entities.
I mean, someone in Annie's family tree got it on with a living bonfire. Compared to that, some crushing seems minor.
We honestly don't know enough about what an elemental is in this universe to really say for sure. We do know that Jones is dense and incredibly resilient.

Annie still needs to ask her about the stars in the night sky.
I have a worrying feeling that the answer will be …
Spoiler
There aren't any.

You get this sense of incredulity from Annie's expressions in this particular comic that is particularly interesting, especially since she is usually not the skeptical one.
Well! That was more than I was expecting. I was all but certain we wouldn't find out exactly why or how Jones is so old (either Annie wouldn't be told, or we'd skip past it). That Jones doesn't know either is intriguing.
I can't help but be reminded of this exchange from the Fellowship of the Ring:

Frodo: "Tell me, lady, who is Tom Bombadil?"
Goldberry: "He is."
