Biology:Helicampodus

From HandWiki

Helicampodus is an extinct genus of shark-like eugeneodont fish that lived during the Late Permian to Early Triassic period. Fossils of Helicampodus have been found in Asia.[1] The largest teeth of Helicampodus kokeni are about 2.7 cm in length, which points to a maximum size of around 2 m based on its relatives.[2] It was earlier placed in the families Helicoprionidae and Edestidae,[3] but has more recently been placed in Helicampodontidae.[4]
