What is a tooth whorl?

Answer:

Helicoprion ("Spiral Saw") was a long-liced genus of shark-like cartilaginous fish that fist arose in the oceans of the late Caboniferous 280 million years ago, survied the Permian-Triassic Extiction Event, and eventually went extinct during the early Triassic some 225 million years ago. The only known fossils are the teeth, which were arranged in a fantastic "tooth-whorl" strongly reminiscent of a circular saw.
