Fossil Cave Bear Molar Tooth #01240

This is the molar tooth of a cave bear!

The cave bear was a large relative of the extant brown bear that lived in Eurasia in the Pleistocene. It went extinct about 24,000 years ago. Highly sexually-dimorphic, large males could weigh over a ton. It utilized caves for hibernation and fossils of the species are often found there.
This is a beautiful and huge upper rear molar from an old US collection. This stunning tooth measures an impressive 1 3/4 inches long! For reference, the same tooth in modern bears rarely exceeds an inch long.
This specimen was sourced from an old collection and was legally collected. Please review all pictures and description for condition.
A fossil, this specimen is not from an ESA-listed species and is legal to sell and possess. US sales only, sorry!
