Cave Bear Digit (finger/toe bone)

A fossil cave bear digit (finger/toe bone) from the Carpathian Mountains. This is a nice digit with good preservation.

The cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) is a prehistoric species of bear which lived in Europe and Asia during the Pleistocene epoch, around 100,000 to 24,000 years ago.  They had very broad, domed skulls with a steeped forhead and a similar skeletal structure to the modern day brown bear.  They were compariable in size (or larger than) the largest modern day bears, measuring up to 2 meters in length and weighing up to 1000kg. Despite their enourmous size, they are thought to have been mostly herbiverous.
