Framed Print of Jaws of bears found in Kent's Cavern

1. Under jaw of fossil Bear (Ursus Arctoideus) 2. Under jaw of Ursus Spelaeus, both found in Kent's Hole, Torquay by the Rev L P Welland, by George Scharf (1788-1860). Kent's Cavern, in Torquay, had long attracted visitors as a natural curiosity but first came to scientific prominence in 1824 when a tourist Mr J Northmore was recommended to visit the site in his pursuit of possible Mithraic artefacts. There were no signs of druids but he did find mammalian remains. The Rev William Buckland (1784-1856) had been conducting excavations in other bone caves during this period and was therefore alerted. Not having the time to oversee the project himself, Buckland encouraged the Roman Catholic priest Father John MacEnery (1797-1841) to undertake the excavations. Between 1825-1829 McEnery found the bones of extinct animals such as bears, hyaenas, rhinoceros and deer. Most controversially MacEnery claimed to have found evidences of man-made flints in amongst the animal bones. Lithograph Date: 1859.
