Cave bear skull fossil

Cave bear skull fossil

This is a fossil skull model of a cave bear. The cave bear (scientific name: Ursus spelaeus) is a bear that lived in Europe and Asia during the Pleistocene and became extinct about 20,000 years ago during the Ice Age. They are much larger than today's brown bears, standing up to 10 feet (about 3 meters) tall and weighing more than 1600 pounds (about 725 kilograms). Because most of their fossils were found in caves, they showed that they were more dependent on caves for habitat and hibernation than existing brown bears, hence the name "cave bear".
Ammonite fossil

Ammonite fossil

This is the fossil of ammonites. Ammonites are an extinct marine cephalopod mollusk related to modern octopus, squid and nautilus. The most notable feature of ammonites is its flat-spun outer shell with tight spiral curls. This shell is not only their shelter, but also controls buoyancy by adjusting the internal air chamber like modern nautilus. They first appeared in the Triassic period about 0.24 billion years ago and became extinct with the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period (about 66 million years ago). The ammonite evolves extremely quickly and is widely distributed, so it is a very important "standard fossil" in geology ".
Cougar Skull

Cougar Skull

This is the skull of a cougar (American Lion). The cougar (Panthera leo atrix) is an extinct species of feline, one of the largest known. They lived during the Pleistocene (Pleistocene) and became extinct about 10,000 years ago. The cougar was found primarily in North America, from Alaska to Mexico, and was a predator at the top of the North American food chain at the time. As pure carnivores, their tooth structure is ideal for piercing and tearing meat, and their canines are large.
The skeleton of an Edwards' giant lemur

The skeleton of an Edwards' giant lemur

This is the gypsum skeleton of an extinct species of giant lemur, the Edwards' giant lemur. Edwards' giant lemur weighs about 50 kilograms and is one of the largest lemurs. They are slow-moving, large in size and similar in posture to modern koalas. These animals once lived on the island of Madagascar. The arrival of humans to the island 2,300 years ago led to a rapid decline in the species, which eventually went extinct about 500 years ago.
