This is not dinosaur related, apologies...
JUST A NOTE (ALSO ON BEHALF OF A CAVE BEAR EXPERT, FABIO BONA) NICE SKULL INDEED, BUT THE LOWER JAW VERY PROBABLY BELONGS TO ANOTHER SPECIMEN. IT IS TOO LARGE WITH RESPECT TO THE SKULL, THE OCCLUSION PATTERN IS CONSEQUENTLY WRONG AND THERE IS TOO MUCH SPACE BETWEEN THE CONDYLE AND THE ARTICULAR AREA. WHY THERE ARE ONLY FOUR ALVEOLA FOR THE LOWER JAW INCISORS???
