Actually, I meant Coelacanth. :).  It reminded me of it because of the
teeth, I think.  Not it's shape/size.

However...these images of an actual coelacanth don't match the ones I
had previously (which were drawn, rather than photographed) seen...not
too surprising, really.  Which means the image I had in my head of a
"coelacanth" was wrong. There's a reason biology isn't my major! ;>
