Errolosteus goodradigbeensis is an extinct buchanosteid arthrodire placoderm. [1] Its fossils have been found in Emsian-aged marine strata of New South Wales, Australia.
The holotype of E. goodradigbeensis, ANU 21806, was described at the same time as its sympatric relative, Arenipiscis . Errolosteus can be distinguished by having a comparatively short, broad skull.
