Description
More fish! Here is Sarcoprion, a genus of Eugeneodontid fish from the late Permian of Greenland. They were able to reach lengths around 6 meters, or 20 feet. Due to the placement of Eugeneodontida within the Chimera family, I've based the body of Sarcoprion on what is seen in most Chimera's. I'm not sure how accurate that is, but hey, it looks nice!Drawn in about 2 hours using Autodesk Sketchbook

Not that accurate-eugenodonts had chimaera heads, but shark-like bodies for speed.

Yeah that's what I kind of figured. Already working on a second, alternate one which has a more streamlined look to the fins, and a more shark-like caudal fin. Thanks for the comment!

The head is still closer to that of a chimaera.
