SHORT-FACED BEAR
Our upright articulation shows off the impressive size of this individual, which, when alive, was approximately five feet at the hip, and stood 12 feet tall. The extinct Short-faced Bear is considered the largest predatory mammal to have roamed the earth. Most abundant in California, it was the most common early North American bear, and lived during the Pleistocene epoch, from around 1.8 MYA until 11,000 years ago.
Also available individually are the skull, canine teeth, humerus, femur and articulated paw. Please see our SC-114 group page for more details.
Our quality control manager, pictured here with the bear, is not included. We would miss her.

Shark Jaws & Teeth
On display in our showroom is our Megalodon Shark Jaw recreation which is available with 3, 4, or 5 rows of teeth. We have a range of shark teeth and jaws available separately, both extinct and extant. A Great White Shark Jaw, set inside the megalodon, gives a sense of scale to the fossil. At bottom left is a plaque with fossilized Whorltooth Shark Teeth.
