Edestus is a Middle Pennsylvanian chondrichthyan possessing symphyseal tooth whorls in both the upper and lower jaws. The curvature of the tooth whorls prevents most of the crowns of the opposing whorls from occluding with each other. For that reason, it has recently been hypothesized that the tooth whorls were used to slash prey with a vertical motion of the anterior part of the body, not to cut prey caught between them. A tooth of Edestus minor having a truncated, smoothly worn apex has been reported previously. Here, a partial tooth whorl of a different species, Edestus heinrichi, is described. The apices of the crowns are worn, so that the crown heights are reduced by about one third. The more labial (older) of the two preserved crowns shows more wear than the more lingual (younger) one. In contrast to the previously reported E. minor tooth, wear is observed to the serrations as well as to the apices of the crowns. The observed wear on both the E. minor tooth and on the E. heinrichi tooth whorl supports the recent hypothesis on the function of the tooth whorls. In both cases, the apices might have been abraded by attempted predation on or scavenging of large fish having skin covered with denticles or scales.
