Hi all, does anyone know why fossils from Cave bears usually are very lightly colored? The dentin and enamel in their teeth also look like they've hardly even been fossilized.

.These fossils are from Romania. They look like crustaceans ichnofossils. If these Eocene or Oligocene fossils are really traces of crustaceans then what genus did make them? If you think that you can identify them write your opinion here. Thank you very much.

We have found thousands of these little button shaped fossils all in one area. They range in size from .5cm to 2cm but most are right at about 1.5cm. Most of them are nearly round, about .5cm thick in the middle, but taper to the edge, very much like a curved button or a pillow. On the outer surface most look just like overlapping layers, but when broken open across the middle they have a very fine spiral structure. I would very much like to identify them.

Ursus spelaeus Cave Bear Molar Tooth Transylvania, Romania Devensian Stage, Pleistocene Period (20,000 Years Old) The cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) was a species of bear that lived in Europe and Asia during the Pleistocene and became extinct about 24,000 years ago during the Last Glacial Maximum. Both the word "cave" and the scientific name spelaeus are used because fossils of this species were mostly found in caves. This reflects the views of experts that cave bears may have spent more time in caves than the brown bear, which uses caves only for hibernation. Cave bears were comparable in size to the largest modern-day bears. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Order: Carnivora Family: Ursidae Genus: Ursus Species: †U. spelaeus-
