Concerning the largest bear fossils it would be interesting to speak about others bear species like cave bear, agriotherium, and indarctos. We know that all these species generated very large specimens but it seems more difficult to find measurements about them...Do you have any measurements about humerus, ulna...for these three taxons? I wanted to create a separate thread follow up to these questions. A lot of us are interested in fossil measurement data. One good resource to utilize is the Paleobiology Data website:   paleodb.org/cgi-bin/bridge.pl?a=homeTo access and catalog fossil information be it from a museum or the professional literature takes a lot of work. EVERYONE is welcomed to help out. Outside input is always welcomed. For me, this task is a labor of love but other people especially those with material access are welcomed to share the burden. It is a fun endeavor and I am hoping more people will jump on board.  Source: Kraglievich, L. J. (1926). |

Do you have access to Kraglievich (1926)? I'm trying to find enough information to make an skeletal, so far I have not been able to get photos of postcrania but I've found something interesting, A. angustidens appears to have a different degree of limb elongation to Arctodus simus, with a slightly proportionally shorter humerus a considerably shorter tibia but relatively longer femur. I'll list MACN 5132 measurements from Soibelzon & Tarantini (2009) and in parenthesis those of the Arctodus simus FMNH PR24880: condylobasal length of cranium 415mm (422mm), femur length 655mm (651mm), humerus length 540mm (594mm) tibia length 365mm (478mm).

Give me some time to look. I am sure I have somewhere the 1926 material. I've recently returned from extended travels and I have A LOT to catch up on and organizing to do. |

Thanks and sorry for the super late reply. |
