Abstract
Toothplates and skull bones from a dipnoan referred here to the genus Cteno dus occur frequently in the tetrapod-bearing member of the mid Visean Ducab rook Formation located near the type section at Ducabrook, near Springsure, central Queensland. This is the first record of a Visean ctenodontid, and of the genus Ctenodus, in Australia, in the East Gondwana region, and in th e southern hemisphere.
