Where This Fossil Comes From
This tooth was recovered from the fossil-bearing gravels and sediments of Bone Valley, Florida, an area famous among fossil hunters for producing high-quality and typically small Megalodon teeth and other marine fossils. Over millions of years, teeth like this became buried in ancient river channels and sediment, slowly mineralizing and preserving until they were discovered by collectors. Unfortunately, this location is no longer accessible by collectors as the property owners of the mine have made it illegal to hunt there. If you're caught trespassing, you will be slapped with a hefty fine and prosecuted. Not worth the risk, in my opinion.
