Baby Bone Valley Megalodon 1.64"

Great color on this heart shaped tooth from a juvenile megalodon.  The multi colored enamel combined with the rusty colored root really stands out.  Classic baby meg shape.  Intact, sharp serrations and tip. 

Bone Valley, located in the heart of central Florida, is world-renowned among fossil collectors and paleontologists alike for its stunningly vibrant and exceptionally preserved Megalodon teeth. The name "Bone Valley" originates from the extraordinary abundance of prehistoric bones and fossils discovered in its phosphate-rich deposits, formed roughly between 5 and 15 million years ago during the Miocene and Pliocene epochs.

During these prehistoric times, Bone Valley was submerged beneath shallow, nutrient-rich coastal waters teeming with marine life, including whales, dugongs, sharks, and the legendary Megalodon—the largest shark to ever roam Earth's oceans. Over millions of years, the phosphate sediments preserved these fossils, infusing them with distinctive hues of blues, blacks, greys, greens, and occasionally rare reddish or golden colors, making Bone Valley Megalodon teeth some of the most sought-after specimens in the fossil world.

First discovered and recognized in the late 19th century, Bone Valley has been extensively mined for phosphate used primarily in agriculture. These mining activities unveiled countless fossils, significantly contributing to our understanding of ancient marine ecosystems. Bone Valley continues to be a rich source of paleontological research and is cherished by fossil enthusiasts who admire the exceptional color, quality, and historical significance of these Megalodon teeth.
