Helicoprion

The helicoprion icon represents a prehistoric shark known for its distinctive spiral-shaped tooth whorl. It is a fascinating fossil discovery that provides insights into the evolution of marine life on Earth. The helicoprion icon can signify a connection to the ocean, marine biology, or the study of prehistoric creatures. Its unique appearance makes it a popular choice for educational materials and illustrations.

In educational or scientific software, the helicoprion icon may appear in diagrams or illustrations to represent prehistoric marine life. For example, in a biology textbook or educational app, the helicoprion icon might be used to label images of fossils or to illustrate the evolution of sharks. The icon's recognizable appearance makes it a useful tool for teaching and learning about marine biology and prehistory.

From a UX perspective, the helicoprion icon can communicate a sense of wonder and curiosity, making it suitable for applications or websites focused on science, education, or marine biology. When used in interfaces, the helicoprion icon can help users quickly identify a section or feature related to prehistoric creatures or oceanic studies.

Helicoprion is one of 4,123 icons in Game Icons, made by GameIcons and released under CC BY 3.0. It is drawn on a 512 × 512 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds HelicoprionIcon to components/icons/game-icons-helicoprion.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed HelicoprionIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Helicoprion icon, or any of 4,123 Game Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 512 × 512 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Helicoprion", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. HelicoprionIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <HelicoprionIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes, with credit: CC BY 3.0 asks you to credit the author (GameIcons) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 3.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by GameIcons, CC BY 3.0" on an about or credits page.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are ocean, marine, life and fish. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Helicoprion in another set.
