Behold the Helicoprion, a confusing prehistoric fish that belongs in H.R Giger's world.
Lived over 275 million years ago, it's saw-like whirly-tooth tongue thingy had scientists scratching their heads for a long time. So little fossil remains have been found, we'll never get to know exactly what it looked like.
Unless idiot scientists in a scifi movie try to clone it š¤£ Watch em try to stick it in a jurassic world movie.

@littlejohn22 TY! I wish scientists could send a camera in a time machine to take pics of prehistoric animals like that, I always want to know what colors they could have been, or which fish had bioluminescence too
