Species: Extinct Panthera leo spelaea(Panthera speclaea) Eurasian Cave Lion
Species description: Extinct Large Species of Lion from 370,000 to 10,000 years ago <. It was one the largest carnivores at that time except the Giant short –faced bear which are virtually nonexistent in the fossil records . It was much larger than the Smilodon Saber-tooth cat or the modern Lion , It had rounded protruding ears , tufted tail, and perhaps faint tiger-like stripes .They lived at same time of Neanderthals (250,000-30,000 ) and Cro-Magnon man( 40,000-10,000) They were featured in Paleolithic religious rituals and they were hunted by a form of human . Mostly found in Europe but this one and some are found in Russia , Siberia and Alaska .This was up to 20% larger than the largest lion today .
Geological strata: Pleistocene Epoch
Geological period: 45,000 Years ago
Item Location: Cave in the Carpathian Mountains , Romania
Item description: 13 Super 100% Original Cave Lion Partial Hand w/1 Complete Phalange set, two large metacarpals are part of this also with 2 complete pathological hand bones present too . This cat had a disease and was an old lion as the 2 smaller bones show a bone ailment .One line of phalanges is complete with 4 bones including a great claw and has a wire through it to keep in intact heard of. The large bone-metatarsals are all at least 6-7” long , and the string of bones is 10” long . These are all exceptional quality with no restore I can see anywhere. A couple ends have a slight amount of wear but these are close to perfect .No restore on these or repair .They are super quality bone and 45,000 years old . The phalanges line were protected with a penetrant sealant to protect, which results in a shiny covering. The others were not touched at all so 100% natural . I never saw so many bones are perfectly shaped , great color , and complete bones from an animal that is hardly found in the fossil record . I’m selling very reasonable as my last small 2 inch toe bone sold for $400 alone so based on that these the one line should be 2000 per 4 bones. These are rarer than Smilodon bones by far as I have many of them . By getting them together you get a super price for all. You will not find most of an entire foot of one of these beasts, that were 20% larger than the largest Lion. Don’t ask for another discount on this. These are too rare. If you can find one other set anywhere lower than these I’ll lower the price, but you won’t. The claw alone is worth $500 . My last partial hand sold for $3100 .
