Complete Cave Bear Skull. Cave bears were larger than any bear alive today standing over 10 feet tall. Certainly, the fierceness of their skull bears witness to this. This complete museum quality 16 inch long skull has top quality ivory colored bone with a complete set of perfect teeth including sharp 2.25 inch long canines with lovely cream to orange enamel. Ursus spelaeus lived 50,000-100,000 years ago in Romania and other parts of northern Europe and certainly competed with early man in these areas. Cave Bear skulls are in great demand because the few skulls found are usually mounted with the rest of the skeleton to bring many thousands of dollars. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a superb skull.
