Lot 1207
Large Cave Bear Jaw With Complete Teeth. This 13" long jaw bone is from a large, adult cave bear, Ursus spelaeus, the largest bear that ever walked the earth. Over 25,000 years old, this complete jaw was found in the Bihor mountains of Romania. The jaw bone is a creamy tan color, nicely contrasted by the cream and orange enamel of the teeth. There are five teeth, with the molars being over 1" long and the fearsome canine tooth being 2" long. The teeth are complete, with just a touch of natural wear on the canine tooth, which occurred when the bear was alive. Add $15 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $200 - 300.
