Species: Ursus spelaeus
Species description: Large Bear from Pleistocene that was previously only known in Europe but this which was larger than size of a grizzly and lived 2.5 Million years ago -25,000 years ago in Europe with large jaws and large bodies similar except bigger than modern bears It lived in Europe at height of last Ice Age and hibernated in European Caves to survive the winters . One cave Dragonhole in Austria contains remains of more than 30,000 bears and many died in their sleep. It was hunted by Neanderthal people and was a vegetarian despite the size of teeth. They were found at many locations also in Russia , but now very few –only Romania . This specimen is from that famous place
Geological strata: Pleistocene1.5 Million Years OLD
Item Location: Famous Drachenhohle(The Dragons Cave) near Mixnitz, Austria This is more than 60,000 years old up to 100,000 years old
Item rating and description : The most famous 23.5” x 13” WideMonster Cave Bear is The Largest Extinct Bear you will ever see from Drachenhohle near Minitz Austria. This is a Monster Cave bear -Largest I’ve ever seen . This Cave Bear was found in 1905s in the Drachenhohle(The Dragons Cave ) Near Mixnitz, Austria. It was excavated when no laws existed. There is no record of the Finder except found in 1905 at this cave but he owned it until 1965 when it was sold to H. Burki. The skull remained in his collection until 2022 when a friend in Belgium purchased if for me so really only 3 owners in 120 years . What is also amazing the dark color indicates very old bear-in fact this one was found over 6 meters(18 ft ) of dirt which comes from cave ceiling over many tens of thousands of years so it’s well over 60,000years old, and it was found in a famous cave where over 30,000 cave bears back then at different levels were found as it was run later by a phosphate company who allowed people in to take them . What is unbelievable of these few exist and no one sells the ones they had so I’ve only seen a few Dragonhole cave bears in my lifetime . This one is in my personal collection and not for sale . Its just too good to part with and so hard to get this. I have the COA with all info signed by him . So this skull until 2022 never left Austria in over120 years. Also the oldest bears in Europe are from Dragonhole . Next the quality is so good even areas of normal resto aren’t restored like zygomatic arches , backs of lowers, lower front which almost all bears have resto but not this one. IT only has a few spots so 98% original , which is so fantastic I can't let this one go, but have one more . I see only 1 tooth that probably came from another cave bear . It's mammoth and wide. European Austrian Male Bear with Super Bone Quality. All Teeth with x-Nice Canines are natural teeth . Cave Bears are no longer found as this species is from an old, old, collection and no more in decades have been discovered. The size at 23” no one has ever seen. They used to be found in caves all over Europe, and Russia, Austria ,Belgium, Germany , Romania, France but now all caves are closed to public. These have gotten very, very rare as only the old collections have them. Not many of these people will sell them so now demand is high, and supply very low. This means prices will be going up a lot and one day if I sell will be worth a lot . The prices have doubled in the last 2 years, and this one is even better and so huge. Drachenhohle( Austrian German Name ) adds so much value it’s just unbelievable to have this , and this is better and bigger than any I’ve seen in 25 years.. The color, no wear on teeth, and natural completeness is really amazing on this skull. It doesn’t get better than this for bear lovers like me. Ill gladly keep it. YOu can hardly believe how hard it was to get this specimen -months and months. The largest bear ever . No one has one thios big from Dragonhole Austria I THis is one of a kind anywhere in world that I know of and sold bears for years . You wont see any from Dragonhohle ever again as I never until last year saw any in 30 years in business . You can look for 100 years and not find a bigger cave bear from a highly desired area . Just find another from Austria IN Europe this area is tops in any cave bear and no one sells them except someone very old . I decided to sell but it doesnt matter really because this bear is so amazing . THis bear is worth so much more than a 17 " one from Romania which now are hardly available . THats why these have gone up Wholesale now is so high its unreal . I saw none at Tucson MIneral show this year where only best dealers come . $18,999 real steal at this price Largest Bear I ever had of any species and from all records largest Cave Bear ever If you can find a larger bear anywhere ILL lower it 2000 but you wont Email me at paleoman@dinolandplus.com or Call 706-235-2694 to talk about it |

They originated generally thought about 500,000 years ago. Society was quite sophisticated with fire making abilities , building cave hearths, and making of stone tools. They could make clothes and ate a wide variety of food mainly hoofed mammals , plants, birds and some aquatic animals. They could make use of medicinal plants and were apex predators but competed with cave bears, cave lions and hyenas , and sabercats . Time frame Dated Pleistocene est. 50,000-35,000 years ago Area Found : Cave in region of Austurias Item rating and description 10 10 : These are so rare everyone can only dream of having a piece of our history. One femur has one end that is worn 12 inches long and other has neither end . Normally these are real ,real expensive from my European contacts because only a few dozen exist in the world in private hands but here they are so reasonable These are 100% Original and not only come with COA about finders before any caves became public . These were probably found in 1975 and purchased in 1978 when it was purchased from finders in Europe. These were adult. A map where found also comes with each piece and they were found deep inside the cave. Few people ever have anything even if you want one ,and due to amount of pieces known , IM offering these very cheap. Even small pieces way smaller than this would sell for this price. This cave only Neanderthal have been found, and it’s famous. It’s was the best area for Neanderthal bones and these were found 1n 1975. All were found by paleontologists and collectors. Last chance to ever see one let alone purchase it. Neanderthal sections to my knowledge don’t exist in USA, and Europe probably a few museums but that is it. But something this rare period are amazing pieces . I had a femur with one end many years ago for 30 years and it sold for $6000 Not these. Always I have a soft spot for our lineage so able to obtain after years of trying. To my knowledge no one has this in private hands in USA and few in Europe anymore. No carbon dating has been done but is at least 35,000 years old and suspect older. In fact in 1994 13 individuals were found, and they were older and cannibalized in this same cave. IM not sure these were cannibalized or not. . This cave is extensive and people allowed in until late 1990s COA from owner about finder and location in cave provided So you get 2 for price of one . Price $5999 Close out Closeout $4999 Neanderthal is so rare its a chance of a lifetime and you will never see this again Shipping $149 w Insurance International 199 Been in personal collection for years Call 706-235-2694 Only paid by check or wire email paleoman@dinolandplus.com This is the deal of the century . IN Europe just one teeth a whole museum is built around so you understand . |

AMAZING 53,000 Plus Years Old POLAR FOX in Its Entirety 100%- Skin, Hair , Organs, TEETH, CLAWS all Intact thru recent Freeze- Drying TechniqueTIME in a CAPSULE- 53,000 PLUS YEARS OLD POLAR FOX in IT’S ENTIRETY Inc SKIN ,HAIR , TEETH, CLAWS & Bones Besides ALL Organs Species: Vulpes lagopus(Polar Fox) Description : Small Fox that’s a mammal with males reaching 22 inches-exactly what this specimen is . Its native to Northern Hemisphere in artic tundra biome.It is well adapted to living in cold environments and known for its thick, warm fur also used for camouflage. It has a large fluffy tail . Most don’t live past it’s first year hearty ones can live up to 11 years as this one did as it’s an adult . They preys on small creatures as lemmings, voles, seal pups, fish, waterfowl and more. It eats berries, insects , and carrion also. Natural predators include eagles, wolves, polar bears, wolverines , and grizzly bears . This guy made it not only 11 years but thru 53,070 years intact. Time Frame : Dated 53,070 by Carbon dated C14 in Japan in 2019 by body tissue 2 different ways : One with 8,13 C Correction which showed 53,070(+-1060) and without 8,13 correction & C14 age without rounding off 53,073(+-1058) Pleistocene . Preparator: From Austria by Stephen Grazer thru vacuum freeze drying for 53 days at -54 degrees with certificate in 2022. Its 100% Natural. Area Found : At base of Belaya Gore(White Mountains) in the Indigirka River Basin Siberia within Yakutia outside a Small Tribal Community found by a poor villager providing to the selling person ,who was there with a work team directly in 2019 . This hunter barely ekes out a living as all community residents deep in Siberia. Description Rating 10 To me this is the ultimate treasure -a fox that lived 53,070 years ago totally intact with hair, Skin ,bones and all organs intact. After a career with only bones to actually have a creature intact that long ago is so rewarding words really don’t accurately describe an animal frozen in time under the perma-frost for 53,070 years, and due to climate change the permafrost melting to see so few animals as they existed tens of thousands of years ago . I have read 2 stores only in all my years of others and only know of 2 others- a baby cave lion , and a wooly rhino baby -both of which I have pictures . Both were on national TV-this hasn’t been . To my knowledge this is the only polar fox ever found frozen. I do have a picture when they started to unfreeze in preparation with partial ice showing. It was dirty black. Now we have a treasure that I still can’t believe. IM the owner of an beautiful creature that will last the ages the same way it died -all the hair , organs, bones, and skin . It has a small bald spot where skin died and no hair resulted, but skin is present . Its mounted beautifully under glass . The dry-freeze process takes almost 2 months of temperatures of -54 Celsius as it says . I just can’t find the words beyond this except behold this miracle . This little guy will live forever .Keep in mind this fox is has to be covered quickly so aerobic bacteria can’t strip it , and since it was very deep no anaerobic either . It was carbon dated with hair in 2019, and kept frozen for years until they found the right person they wanted to prep or could prep. This is new business and few exist in the world .The permafrost is melting due to global warming . To my knowledge this is the only adult mammal ever found completely original , a few babies . Price Value is limitless.. IT gives me great joy . It comes with complete write up certificate with all steps for this masterpiece from Preparer. Also hair samples were done early and sent to Japan for testing and was done a second time by the preparer. Both certificates come with it plus a display case with light and instructions to keep humidity 65 or under . It was kept in same shape as it maintains its shape as stated above due to no water in body thru process of freeze drying so its really light as no water is in the skeleton at all ,which is normally 98% of body as us . Also I send pics of animal frozen just before preparation it is black . If found it takes years asometimes to get it done ,and lots of cost. Adults aren’t done because the cost would be 100,000 just to freeze dry . If any interested contact me but IM not sure Id sell unless the right person . You will never see this againy . Its about 14 inches and its an adult . I saw a few feet only(skin, Hair) of a few wooly rhinos that were 100,000 .This is a whole mammal and while it exists today its extremely rare . Only Norway, Asia , Alaska , Upper Canada and Tibet a few exist. Call 706-235-2694 to talk only. This person has to really appreciate an adult mammal that is in this condition 17 times the age of Moses Egyptians. Thats why they hardly exist . A great friend told me to put it out there . I really dont want to sell this but someday we all sell everything . Not for sale . Personal collection |

ONE-OF-A KIND Astonishing REPENOMAMUS Skeleton -Largest Mammal in Dinosaur Ages Which ATE DINOSAURS 125 MYA-3 ftAstonishing REPENOMAMUS SKELETON-High originality -Famous Killer of Baby Dinosaurs -Largest Mammal during the Age of Dinosaurs Species: Repenmamus giganteus Description : Badger-sized mammal -only one known to eat dinosaurs . Recently on TV as having one with stomach contents of 2 baby dinosaurs . This was the largest mammal known throughout all dinosaur period as dinosaurs kept them at bay the entire time, and almost all others were size of mice . It was larger than several known adult dinosaurs also .It was a carnivore -one of few mammals that were that also ate other vertebrates like reptiles and birds . Only 2 known and this the only one in private hands . A non-placental mammal which means it laid eggs that hatched like modern marsupials . It’s a member of the triconodonts an early mammal even though they started about 230 MYA. IT came from reptiles as we all did . Its teeth are very sharp and between a dog and a cat . That's why I put in cats and dogs. More a cat and may be one of forerunners of Sabertooths even though Miacis -like a weasel is given that honor Time: Early Cretaceous 125-123 MYA Area : Euroasia There is video about this mammal Repenomamus the Mammal that Ate Dinosaurs
Description : Rating 10 of 10 . To me this is the find of the entire dinosaur period. Rarer than any dinosaur it is one of my most exciting specimens. Most people only think of dinosaurs but to get a whole specimen with only ribs and part of shoulder blades restored is so amazing . The head has all real teeth to this animal and is 6” Long with the whole animal 36 “ long exactly 3 feet . I do have ribs but they are in pieces so unable to mount but could put some on eventually on top of others. Expertly mounted and just a sight to behold . Mammals are my thing now and wanted one for quite awhile. It was found in prep shop in matrix with contents unknown for decades and recently prepped. One of a kind - IM keeping this . If I did sell it would take a lot and will take names for the distant future with health permits I cant say enough about this. IT leaves me speechless almost ,which you know is hard to do on my website. This is so great when you consider almost all mammals were size of today's mouse all just trying to stay alive and not get crushed by dinosaurs . This one could handle small adult dinos and babies . Its teeth are so sharp thats why I believe its a forerunner to sabercats -they say Miacis is the forerunner which is a weasel type animal . Miacis was later so Miacis probably came from this mammal . The teeth are so sharp. Call 706-235-2694 or 706-802-7894 thanks You may give me your name if interested some day or Ill just enjoy it while IM healthy. I don't know the true value since no one has this. To me it has tremendous value . Amount I paid is well worth it. |

Only -One -Known Huge 32” Around the Curve ADULT JAVAN RHINOCEROS Extinct Subspecies Upper SKULL 99% Original w All Teeth Present & from This RhinoOnly one Known Huge 32” Around the Curve ADULT Javan RHINOCEROS Extinct Subspecies Upper Skull 99% Original WITH ALL Real Amazing TEETH 1-1.5MYA Species: Rhinoceros sondaicus annamiticus Javan Rhinoceros subspecies extinct Species description: An adult wooly rhinoceros was 10 ft in length -this one I have was a male huge one but this species is the smallest of all rhinos. It does belong to the Indian rhinoceros. It averages 5 ft in height. Its horn is only 9.8 inches at most and only adult males have these horns. Females lack all horns which has saved them until now . Only 50 exist in the world but this. It eats vegetation . It did survive the last glaciation period unlike most all other mammals of its time as it was hardy and could withstand most anything but man . Geological strata: Pleistocene Fauna Geological period: 1.5MYA -1MYA Javan rhino species still exists but not this one Item location: Sangiran Archaeological Site by Sangiran River close to Kalijambe -in Regency: SRAGEN In Central Java about 15 miles N of Surakarta in Solo River Valley. Rating and item description : 1-10 10 MONSTEROUS HUGE 32”Long 15” Wide Upper Javan Rhino Skull from Rare digging site w /All Natural Teeth with Beautiful Brown Color. This area produces such a rare amount of species including Java man, , Hippos, and in this case a Rhino Upper Skull . I cant say enough about this and this area. This skull due to color and weight which weighs over 100 lbs due to total mineralization indicates a million years old or more just like my Hippo . This I never heard of any being found and hope someday to get a lower / It’s just an amazing find . It was found decades ago and in USA for also decades in a private collection . The teeth are so amazing on this creature as it has total detail and all are here with hardly any or no wear . To me it ranks as one of most miraculous finds I have been fortunate enough to own. This skull is so heavy it takes for an upper only 2 plus people as it weighs over 125 lbs estimated. It comes on a oak display unmatched with rigid stands to support this monstraousity. I just can’t say enough how valuable this is. This area has been dated with almost all items 1-1.5MYA items. While this was not carbon dated ,the physical weight and color, and amount of mineralization tells you it’s between this number. My wooly rhino palls in weight to this skull. THis is 1 MIllion years older . The Javan rhino has 2 prongs in front skull , while wooly has a one continous frontal large lobe . Also the back pof a wooly is 12 inches higher than the back of the Javan . Two distinct specimens almost a million years apart . Evolution at its best . Darwin sure knew what he was talking about. The Upper is 99% Natural with all teeth from same animal and only a small amount of repair It ionly broke one side of zygos . This was bought in USA as it was here for many years. NO horns have ever been found of this species from all research and it looks different that the Siberian wooly rhinos . This is a male rhino for sure. This species was the smallest of rhino species that exist today and a million years ago. Only a few of today’s species exist in western part of Java . I have to look at this for awhile before selling but if I did below is minimum amount . I just had to share this with fossil lovers . Price : May sell but years later . NO discount . May discuss 706-235-2694 just details of skull. |
