Pair of Cave Bear hands Complete With Sharp Claws. Ursus spelaeus, the Cave Bear, was the largest bear that ever lived and has only been extinct for 10,000 years. These 11" long and 5" wide left and right hands are complete down to the claws, which are over 1" long and mounted with wires so that they can be easily examined. They are between 25,000-35,000 years old and were found in caves in the Bihor Mountains of RomaniaThe bone is a light brown in color. The size of these large, fearsome hands and sharp claws give us some idea of the ferocity of these huge cave bears which stood over 10 feet tall when they were fully grown. Add $20 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $600 - 900.
