Identifying Pleistocene Ursus Fossils from Dental Morphology Analyses of American Black Bear (Ursus americanus) and Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) Specimens

This project aimed to use black and brown bear teeth measurements in order to see if species identifications can be made for fossil bears. Using specimens across four Californian natural history museums, we found that one tooth measurement was sufficient to identify between the two species.
