Here is a nice canine tooth from a Cave Bear. This is an Ursus uralensis tooth 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 tooth is extremely well preserved. The shiny, white enamel is quite beautiful, and the very tip of the tooth exhibits only a minute amount of natural wear. The long root of the tooth is wonderfully intact. This is a very fine specimen of a canine tooth from this large Ice Age mammal.
