helicoprion, since it's more related to a ratfish it's probably not looking like this but I still wanted to draw it my way, a bit of a mixed bag of popular designs for it

Top Ten Sharks #8 - The Buzzsaw Shark, Helicoprion sp.
Top Ten Sharks #8 - The Buzzsaw Shark, Helicoprion sp. - One of the prehistoric seas' weirdest sharks, the buzzsaw has a spiral of teeth in its mouth. How? Why? Come read and find out!
Remember how I told you most prehistoric sharks we only know from teeth and jaw fragments? THEN WHAT IN THE NAME OF UNHOLY EVOLUTIONARY DRUNKEN FUCKING IS THIS? The Helicoprion species (of which there are three proposed, H. bessonowi, H. davisii and H. ergasaminon)… So when we did the cats I introduced you to the latin binomial (the two names that denote the genus and species of an animal) and…

Nicknamed the "buzzsaw shark," this 270 million-year-old creature is actually an extinct relative of the ratfish called a Helicoprion. Its bizarre tooth arrangement has confused scientists for over a century, but one artist finally got it right.
Ray Troll, whose art show about Hilicoprion has been touring the US for the past three years, has been on the front lines of scientific research about one of the strangest fossils ever found. When geologist Alexander Petrovich Karpinsky discovered the creature's tooth whorl in 1899, at first he thought it was a kind of ammonite because the teeth looked so much like the ammonite's spiral shell.
Paleo expert Brian Switek writes that it took Karpinsky a little while to realize that it was actually part of a larger animal. Over the next century, many different paleontologists offered explanations for what it might be, including a defensive formation on Helicoprion's nose, a ridge on its back, or even sticking out of its mouth like a spiky, curled tongue.
All the different ways that scientists have tried to explain where Helicoprion's spiral teeth were positioned.
