Complete Skull From A Giant Cave Bear. This beautiful complete 18" x 9" skull is fro Ursus spelaeus, the largest bear that ever lived. These giant cave bears roamed Rurope from 300,000 to as recently as 10,000 years ago. From cave paintings made by ice-age humans, we know that cave bears somewhat resembled a grizzly bear, but were larger, standing over 10 feet tall. This superb complete skull is a light brown color with excellent bone quality and all teeth still in their sockets. The fearsome incisor teeth are just over 2" long. These cave bears are between 25,000-35,000 years old and were found in caves in the Bihor Mountains of Romania. Cave bears certainly have one of the largest and most impressive of the early mammal skulls and few skulls are as complete and superb as this one. Add $50 for domestic shipping.
