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.
