Early discoveries of Cave Bear skeletal remains, found in the caves of Central Europe, were thought to be from unicorns and DRAGONS as well as bear. The bones of this European Cave Bear, considered to be of medicinal value, were pulverized and used in pharmacies for potions and elixirs. From 1920-1924, over 100,000 cave bear skeletons were taken from the Drachenhohle Cave near Mixnitz, Austria and used for PHOSPHATE and FERTILIZER - gee, what a waste of such unique fossils!
