About #292: "An extremely large Cave lion fang from Russia, almost 6 inches long"... That is enormous ! Almost 6 inches long, that is 16 centimeters ! By seeing the photos you posted, I quoted 11 cm for a normal, solid, lion's fang, 12 cm for a normal, solid, tiger's fang. Why such a difference ? Nevertheless by seeing the cave lion's fang you today posted I note that the part of the tooth which is sunk in the gum is quite straight, i.e not curved at all like in the cases of the extant lions and tigers. Do you confirm this ? If yes, do you have an hypothesis explaining this fact ?
