Bonjour, effectivement, drôle de bestau comme tu dis! c'est d'ailleurs amusant de voir différentes tentatives de 'reconstruction' de la machoire au fil du temps...
voici un article en anglais, avec des ref. en fin de page :https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/buzzsaw-jaw-helicoprion-was-a-freaky-ratfish
