Parabuchanosteus murrumbidgeensis is an extinct buchanosteid arthrodire placoderm. Its fossils have been found in the Late Emsian-aged marine strata of the Wee Jasper reef in New South Wales, Australia.[1]
It was originally described as Buchanosteus murrumbidgeensis in 1952. In 1972, it was re-examined and promoted to a new genus.[2]
