Errolosteus goodradigbeensis is an extinct buchanosteid arthrodire placoderm.[1] Its fossils have been found in Emsian-aged marine strata of the Wee Jasper reef in New South Wales, Australia.[2]
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.
