Ursus ingressus (Rabeder et al 2004)

Thu, 18 Jun 2020 13:13:55 +0000

Cave Bear fang tooth (carnassial) 11cm long.

It's from the so-called "Drachenhoehle" in Mixnitz, Styria, Austria. Cave bear fossils from the Late Pleistocene have been found there for a long time and were generally identified as Ursus spelaeus, but it was first established through a detailed study in 2004 that all of these fossils actually belong to the smaller newly identified species U.ingressus.

I snapped this one up recently on a good deal from our favorite auction site.

Rodentia indet. (Bowdich 1821)

7x6mm.

This partial tooth was found in the Miocene Burdigalian at Billafingen, B.-W., Germany.

It may be a member of the Eomyidae family.

Thanks to Harry Pristis and the others in helping with id.

There also seems to be the possibility that it comes from a small cervid.
