Product Description
This is a very rare part of a small collection of cave bear fossils that were collected from a single cave many decades ago in Poland. Vertebrate fossil collecting and export of fossils like these from Poland has been BANNED for many years now. Specimens like this can never be collected or removed from the country today. It is material like this that will appreciate in value due to such scarcity in the years to come.
This is a complete premolar still embedded in a large portion of the palate and maxilla of the European Cave Bear Ursus spelaeus. The crown is naturally lustrous and displays spectacular light enamel and cusp surface. This is only one of very few specimens that were attached to bone that were from this small old collection.
HISTORY
True Cave Bear fossils from the European extinct Ice Age bear Ursus spelaeus have become quite rare in today's market. Fine quality examples of any fossil remains of the cave bear are scarce. The Cave Bear of Europe was a beast both feared and worshipped by Neanderthals and Cro-magnon man as they were forced to co-exist and compete for shelter during the final Ice Age. A classic beast of the Pleistocene, no vertebrate fossil collection showcasing animals of the last Ice Age and even primitive human history should be without some fine grade examples of fossils of this animal.
