AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Hereby I offer from my private collection a collection of cave bear fossils.

It concerns 3 teeth from the cave bear: a canines, a molar, and a incisor.

The cave bear (scientific name Ursus spelaeus) lived mainly in caves during the Pleistocene, and died about 24,000 years ago. They were significantly larger than the bear species we know today, and could stand up to about 3.5 m tall.

All 3 teeth were found in the legendary Drachenhöhle (Dragon's Cave) near the Austrian town of Mixnitz. This cave is known as one of the most exceptional and remarkable cave bear sites in the world.

Comes with the shown display boxes and name tag.

A chance to add some beautiful pieces to your (private) collection.
