The cave near Nerubajskoe village is one of several karstic elements in this area. Some of these caves contain Pleistocene material. NORDMANN (1849) was the first to excavate in this area. Only a few new sites have been found since then. The Austrian-Ukrainian research group recovered new Pleistocene material from a cave ruin near Nerubajskoe in 2003. The cave bear belongs to the U. ingressus group with plesiomorphic morphological features. While morphological different from the modern cave bear from the Alpine region, the results of the fossil DNA analyses clearly places them in the same evolutionary line as the findings from the Gamssulzen and Potočka Cave. New Radiocarbon dates place the fauna into the middle part of the Upper Pleistocene.

... Most apparent among these differences is the retention of a "typical" ursid dental formula in U. arctos of 3.1.4.2/3.1.4.3, whereas most known U. spelaeus skulls that retain full dentitions show a formula of 3.1.1.2/3.1.1.3 (but see, Nagel et al., 2005). Typically, cave bear skulls (unlike those of extant brown bears) also display a "domed" frontal region in profile, as well as broad, prominent sites for the attachment of large temporal and masseter muscles (e.g., Kurt en, 1976;Grandal-d'Anglade and L opez Gonz alez, 2005). ...
