European Cave Bear Fossils

The cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) was a species of bear that lived in Europe and Asia during the Pleistocene and became extinct about 24,000 years ago during the Last Glacial Maximum.   Both the word "cave" and the scientific name spelaeus are used because fossils of this species were mostly found in caves. This reflects the views of experts that cave bears may have spent more time in caves than the brown bear, which uses caves only for hibernation.

Cave Bear fossils are becoming scarce now, but I will try to keep my prices competitive to give you the best deal and quality pieces.  Getting rarer to get hold of these fossils and prices are rising from suppliers because less are being found now.
