Sarcoprion is an extinct genus of eugeneodontid holocephalids that lived during the Permian period. The genus contains one species, Sarcoprion edax, which was found in marine strata of Greenland. It was known for its unique and bizarre tooth morphology, which set it apart from other species of sharks and their closest relatives, the chimaeras. Sarcoprion’s most distinctive feature was its “tooth whorls,” which were sharper, more compact, and in better condition than those of other sharks from the same time period. These tooth whorls were not only peculiar in appearance but also raised questions about the shark’s feeding mechanisms. 

Unlike it's relative Helicoprion, Sarcoprion had an adaptation involved reducing the size and shape of the tooth whorl and increasing the size of the rostrum.
