Here is a fine canine tooth from a Cave Bear. This is Ursus uralensis from the Cave Deposits of Russia. Cave bears are the largest member of the bear family and the chief animal hunted by Neanderthal man. Cave bear material is becoming harder to obtain as the old caves have been heavily collected and are producing very little new material. This canine tooth exhibits very little wear. The shiny enamel is well preserved, and the tip of the tooth is in great condition. The long root of the tooth is wonderfully intact. This is an excellent tooth from this large Ice Age mammal.
