Rare Green Bone Valley Meg 2.12"

For those of you that are familiar with the teeth and color from Bone Valley, you will recognize that this hue of green is not common.  I'll admit I'm a little out of the loop when it comes to what is being found these days, but back when I started collecting in the early 1990s, this green was highly sought after and not that common.  I imagine it's much the same today.  This shade of green I consider and 'old' green; produced from mining operations that are no longer in operation today, when phosphate minerals are infiltrated by other trace elements resulting in greenish hue. I think there are far more yellow and jet black crowns than this green. With that being said, this color combined with a desirable heart shape from a juvenile megalodon and you have yourself a winning combination.   There's my spiel.   I kinda like this tooth and I think you will too.  

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.
