Helicoprion Shark in Cell Phone Game


My previous post showed an Edestus shark in the Jurassic World cell phone game. I encountered another fossil shark in the game called a Helicoprion. This shark-like creature was one odd fish in that its fossil consists of a spiral of teeth. It was eventually determined the spiral was located in the lower jaw. As the fish grew the smaller teeth were pushed into the center of the lower jaw. Read more at the Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helicoprion

The real shark existed from the Permian to Triassic (290-250 million years ago).

An Iridescent Looking Limnoscelis


I have mentioned this animal before in a previous posting and about the computer game it is featured in. It is now at its maximum level and appears quite iridescent. It is from the mobile phone game Jurassic World.

This Permian Period reptile like amphibian is a Limnoscelis. It is thought to be a carnivore and grew to a length of about 1.5 meters.

The game is available for free for the Android phone in the Play Store.

I continue to play a mobile phone game called Jurassic World. Once the creatures in the game reach level 40 they become quite colorful. Two shown in this posting are the Triceratops and the Majungasaurus.


The game is available for free for the Android phone in the Play Store.
