Mioceratodus is an extinct genus of lungfish in the family Neoceratodontidae, which also contains the extant Queensland lungfish.[1] It is known only from Oligocene and Miocene-aged sediments in Australia , although phylogenetic evidence supports it having first diverged from its closest relative, Neoceratodus, during the Late Jurassic or Early Cretaceous period.[2][3]
4 species are known from this genus:[4]
- †Mioceratodus anemosyrus
- †Mioceratodus diaphorus
- †Mioceratodus gregoryi
- †Mioceratodus poastrus
