EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a prehistoric jaguar jaw bone, known as C015 / 6761. This fossilized jaw bone hails from the extinct European jaguar species, Panthera gombaszoegensis. Discovered in 1990 at the TD-4 level within the Gran Dolina cave, nestled in the Sierra de Atapuerca foothills near Burgos, Spain, this remarkable artifact dates back approximately 800,000 years. The black background of this image accentuates the intricate details of this ancient specimen. The teeth of this majestic big cat are prominently displayed and evoke a sense of awe and wonder. With its historical significance and archaeological value, it is no surprise that these limestone caves have been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to their abundance of prehistoric fossils and artifacts. This studio shot provides an up-close view of the jawbone's structure while highlighting its anthropological importance. As an extinct species from the Stone Age era, this European jaguar serves as a testament to our planet's rich wildlife history. Displayed within a museum setting against a cut-out backdrop, this photograph captures not only the essence of Spanish history but also represents an invaluable piece in understanding our evolutionary past. Its presence reminds us of how far we have come and how much more there is to discover about our ancient ancestors and their world.
