Аннотация:The lower molar (m1) of cave bears from Late Pleistocene localities of the Urals was studiedemploying the methods of traditional morphometry and geometric morphometrics. On the basis of the sizeand shape variation of m1, the small cave bear (Ursus ex gr. savini-rossicus) was found to have been a part ofthe faunas from the caves Skazka, Viasher, Dynamitnaya, Chudesnitsa, and Chernye Kosti. The small cavebear presence in faunas from the Medvezhya, Makhnevskaya Ledyanaya, Asha 1, Ignat’evskaya, and Barsuchii Dol caves was confirmed as well. The species range of the small cave bear encompassed the Northern,Middle, and Southern Urals in the Late Pleistocene. The ranges of the small cave bear and cave bear (Ursuskanivetz) overlapped from the beginning (marine isotope stage 5e) to the middle (middle marine isotope stage3) of the Late Pleistocene.
