Helicoprion - Helicoprion

Japanese: ヘリコプリオン - へりこぷりおん
Helicoprion - Helicoprion

A fish of the genus Helicoprion in the family Agaschizodontidae of the order Eugeneodontidae of the class Chondrichthyes. Spiral dentition has been discovered in Paleozoic Permian (Permian) strata around the world, including Siberia, Canada, and the United States. In Japan, it has been discovered in Azumacho Hanawa, Higashimachi, Midori City, Gunma Prefecture, and Kesennuma City, Miyagi Prefecture. Various reconstructions have been proposed based on the spiral dentition, but it is thought to have developed in the suture of the jaw.
