About: Buchanosteus

An Entity of Type: animal, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Buchanosteus is an extinct genus of arthrodire placoderm. Its fossils have been found in Early Devonian-aged marine strata throughout Asia and Australia. It contains the following species: * B. confertituberculatus, the type species, is known from several specimens found from the Emsian-aged Taemas-Weejasper Reef in what is now New South Wales, Australia. It coexisted sympatrically with other buchanosteid genera there. * B. guangxianensis is known primarily from a well-preserved, albeit incomplete endocranium from Pragian-aged deposits near Guangxi, China. It is compared to another buchanosteid, the "giant" Exutaspis from the late Emsian Wuding Formation in Yunnan. * B. nuricus is known from one or two specimens from Emsian strata in the Qaranghandy Region in Kazakhstan, and named for t
