This catalog contains very nice specimens from the Lemon shark, Negaprion brevirotris. Negaprion brevirotris is a large extant species of shark that inhabits subtropical and temperate waters in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. This shark gets it’s name from their unique yellow-brown to light olive color. Bone Valley Negaprion brevirotris teeth are Miocene age (10-15 million years ago). These colorful teeth are highly sought after by collectors.

Bone Valley - Excellent shark teeth are recovered from the Bone Valley Fm. in Florida. These teeth can be very colorful and well preserved. The Bone Valley Fm. is a middle to late Miocene deposit in central Florida. The phosphate mining operations in Polk Co. has uncovered the majority Bone Valley fossils. Access to the phosphate mine dumps is very limited and appears to be highly restricted to a few fossil club entries. Exceptional Bone Valley Fm. shark teeth are also recovered offshore Golden Beach and Venice Beach.

Note - all teeth sizes are slant height unless otherwise noted.
