Helicoprion was a prehistoric fish that lived around 270 million years ago. It had a unique spiral-tooth structure called a "tooth whorl" that formed a circular saw-like blade in its mouth, which it used to slice through prey. Helicoprion likely fed on soft-bodied animals such as squid and other fish.
