Helicoprion: The Buzz Saw Shark
Update: 2025-11-10
Description
Provides an overview of Helicoprion, an extinct shark-like fish from the Permian period (300–250 million years ago) that was roughly twice the size of a modern Great White. Its most notable feature is the tooth whirl, a spiral of razor-sharp teeth preserved far more often than its cartilage skeleton. The text explains that this tooth structure was located in the lower jaw and likely used to feed on soft-bodied prey such as squid, and notes that the unique teeth have led to the identification of three distinct Helicoprion species.
