«Der Mosbacher Bär» is the palaeontology essay by Ernst Probst, published by tredition in hardback (76 pages, in German).
The work centres on the Mosbach bear (Ursus deningeri), an ancestor of the cave bear that lived near Wiesbaden during the Ice Age. From the remains found in the sands of Mosbach, deposits of the ancient Main and ancient Rhine, it reconstructs its appearance, its size —1.50 metres tall at the shoulder and up to 490 kilos— and the landscape it inhabited.
The text comes from «Wiesbaden vor 600.000 Jahren» (2022), a 552-page work by the same author. The scientific name Ursus deningeri refers to the geologist Karl Julius Deninger (1878-1917).
Enthusiasts of palaeontology and the prehistory of the Wiesbaden region will find an accessible introduction to this extinct species.
