Helicoprion bessonowi was first described in an 1899 monograph by Alexander Karpinsky. Although it was not the first Helicoprion species to be described, it was the first known from complete tooth whorls, demonstrating that Helicoprion was distinct from Edestus. [13] As a result, H. bessonowi serves as the type species for Helicoprion. [20]
Helicoprionidae (sometimes referred to as Agassizodontidae) [2] is an extinct family of holocephalans within the order Eugeneodontida.Members of the Helicoprionidae possessed a "whorl" of tooth crowns connected by a single root along the midline of the lower jaw.
Among the eugeneodonts, some members of the superfamily Edestoidea are probably the largest marine animals of their time, with the Late Carboniferous Edestus estimated to reach about or exceeding 6.7 metres (22 ft) in length, [6] [7] with some Early Permian Helicoprion suggested to be over 7.6 metres (25 ft) long by some estimates [8] (though ...
Two marine biologists share 10 shark facts for kids, as well as why shark attacks happen and why sharks are essential to human survival.
Like its other relatives, such as Helicoprion, and unlike modern sharks, the species of Edestus grew teeth in curved blades or "whorls". In Edestus' case, only a single row of teeth occurred in the midline of each jaw, leading Edestus to sometimes be described as the "scissor tooth shark". The degree of curvature in the teeth brackets, along ...

Campyloprion is an extinct genus of large shark-like eugenodont fish. Two species of Campyloprion are known, C. annectans from Texas and New Mexico in United States and C. ivanovi from Russia. [1] The fossils date to the Gzhelian stage, approximately 303.4–298.9 million years ago. [1]
