Fantasy recostruction?

Is there a source for the life reconstruction? The article says that the species are known only from their teeth, and there are no clues as to the appearance, It seems unhelpful to readers to show an illustration that is actually 90% fantasy. --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 02:36, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

The reconstruction is based on related taxa from which the body is known. [1] At the very worst, it is an educated guess based on similar reconstructions, and not intended to be original research.--Mr Fink (talk) 05:04, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

A similar reconstruction by Ray Troll [2]--Mr Fink (talk) 14:14, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

Edestus, believing this to be a shark is a mistake.

These pictures of the jaw is a frog or salamander, because these creatures only have bottom teeth and an upper strong palette and the whorl would operate with the tongue and teeth in unison. G.A. Berry (talk) 07:29, 27 September 2024 (UTC)

The jaws being able to extend out is based on recent cranial and jaw findings. You appear to be confusing Edestus with Helicoprion Mr Fink (talk) 13:37, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
