Baby Cave Bear Skull Cast (In Situ)

Description

This piece is a cast of a juvenile cave bear (Ursus spelaeus) skull preserved in situ, reproduced from an original specimen discovered within its surrounding matrix. The cast captures the skull as it was found, including the embedded position, fractured surfaces, and developing dentition typical of a young individual.

Produced in durable casting material and hand-finished to reflect the texture and color of the original fossil and matrix. It serves as a practical teaching aid for illustrating field context, taphonomy, and early growth stages within the cave bear lineage.
