LARGER than the Russian Bear, THIS IS A TRUE CAVE DWELLING BEAR from the Carpathian Mountain caves in the area of Brasov or Kronstadt,  Romania ("Brasso" translation in Hungarian).  Dated to the Pleistocene Era (42,000 to 100,000 years old).  The male cave bear grew to 10 feet or more in length, and a weight of up to a ton (2000 pounds).
Early discoveries of Cave Bear skeletal remains, found in the caves of Central Europe, were thought to be from unicorns and DRAGONS as well as bear.  The bones of this European Cave Bear, considered to be of medicinal value, were pulverized and used in pharmacies for potions and elixirs.
Be careful of RUSSIAN BEAR FOSSILS
(Ursus 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 which were found in Romania, not Russia.
