David et al.,
Refer to your copy of /50 Years of Texas Caving*:/ the section on Bones, pp 279-285. Bones of black bear (/Ursus americanus /sp.) have been
found in numerous Texas caves. Not surprising because historical accounts mention that there were a great many of them during the 1800s,
We found a set of scratches was found in the Helictite room on a survey
trip last year. They were quite large and had a span of about 4 feet or so,
but if they were bear scratches I will leave up to the experrts.
