A shark with a saw, a saw with teeth, we have a new shark coming to sticknodes
Helicoprion
Helicoprion was a shark that lived 290 million years ago and it had a strange set of jaws, it had a weird, spiral shaped jaw. When scientists first found the strange tooth whorl they thought it went on the tip of its nose, making it look like something out of a Dr. Suess book. Scientists then thought that it went on the bottom of the sharks jaw, making it look like a shark with a helix on for a jaw. Then, scientists thought that it was on the fin, giving it a spiral whorl on its fin. Then, finally, scientists found a perfect specimen. They found pieces of cartalige on the jaw and finally, put the whorl on the top of the bottom jaw.

@thedinosaurhunter
might as well let him go
he gone man
he gone
Guess that poor guy was dressed like a squid, since Helicoprion is thought to have fed on mainly the shelled cephalopods and squids that lived alongside it.
Lol. Maybe he was dangling his foot in the water and the helicoprion thought it was a squid
And that, people, is why you never wiggle your toes in water before jumping in. Otherwise you get a circular-sawblade-toothed shark biting off your legs.
Also, I see this being a SyFy channel monster movie.
Coming Next Never…

Experience the terror of the saw-blade shark as it Saws through everyone in its path to Destruction!!
