THIS IS NOW OFFICIALLY THE BEST TAPINOCEPHALIAN RECONSTRUCTION ON THE INTERNET. Who's the artist? I want to shake his hand. |

It's indeed magnificent, but I'm still wondering what specific genus it's intended to represent. |

Finally someone has given Helicoprion (if it is that) a Chimaeriforme-like appearance, instead of making it look like a generic shark. |

Well they are both Holocephali, so they should still have a more chimera-like, than shark-like appearance. |

I was being overdramatically sarcastic. The only difference between the two genera is some differences in shape and angle of teeth, which you can't tell from the picture.Also I've been meaning to draw a Chimaera Helicoprion for a while now. Never got around to it. |

While I do prefer this representation of Helicoprion over the usual very lamniformid ones I do think that a very Chimera like body plan might be just as unplausible. Most evidence seem to point out that Helicoprion were pelagic predators that probably hunted active prey like squids, a chimera like bauplan seems very unsuitable for such a lifestyle. So while I deffinitivelly agree with some of the characteristics showed like the gill morphology and the distribution of the fins I think a very heteromorphic caudal fluke and very large ventral fins might not had been so likely.

Agreed, however I still think the reconstruction is fantastic simply on account of its originality. |
