GENUINE RUSSIAN BEAR FOSSILS

Ursus Uralensis, or U. Uralensis

Beware of so-called "Russian" or "Siberia" "CAVE BEAR" fossils being offered by other fossil dealers that have not taken the time to educate themselves and know their product. These are not true "cave" bear fossils (though these are genuine fossils), as they are not a year-round cave dwelling bear. The cave bear is much larger (SEE BELOW--the Ural Spelaeus)

From the last Ice Age, (Pleistocene) 40-60,000 year old deposits from the Ural Mountain region from SIBERIA, RUSSIA

Above photos show how big the prehistoric Bear really was! Photos taken at the Aurora Fossil Club show

Russian bears were larger than present-day grizzlies. Their diet was mostly vegetarian, but they also may have eaten meat when easily available. They hibernated in caves (but did not live year-long in caves), where many of them died and their bones are found today. These are not cave bears.
