Edestus

phylum	Chordata	Edestus is a genus of eugeneodontid holocephalid that lived throughout the world's oceans during the late Carboniferous. Like its other relatives, such as Helicoprion, and unlike modern sharks, the species of Edestus grew teeth in curved brackets, and did not shed the teeth as they became worn. In Edestus' case, there was only a single row of teeth in each jaw, so that the mouth would have resembled a monstrous pair of pinking shears. The degree of curvature in the teeth brackets, along with size are distinct in each species. For more information, visit the Wikipedia entry. Get back to chimaeras & allies
