Its fossils have been found in Early [[~~Emsian~~Devonian]]-~~[[Epoch (geology)\|~~aged]] marine strata throughout [[Asia]] and [[Australia]]. It contains the following species: ''Buchanosteus confertituberculatus'', the type species, is known from several specimens found from the Emsian-aged Taemas-Weejasper Reef in what is now [[New South Wales]], Australia. It coexisted [[sympatric]]ally with other buchanosteid genera there. ''Buchanosteus guangxianensis'' is known primarily from a well-preserved, albeit incomplete endocranium from Pragian-aged deposits near Guangxi, China. It is compared to another buchanosteid, the "giant" ''[[Exutaspis]]'' from the late Emsian Wuding Formation in Yunnan. ''Buchanosteus nuricus'' is known from one or two specimens from Emsian strata in the Qaranghandy Region in Kazakhstan, and named for the [[Nura River]]. Is very similar in anatomy to ''B. confertituberculatus'' ==References== {{~~reflist~~Reflist}} {{~~Placodermi~~Arthrodira\|Ar.}}▼ ~~{{portal\|Paleontology}}~~ {{Taxonbar\|from=Q16848312}} [[Category:~~Arthrodires~~Buchanosteidae]] [[Category:~~Prehistoric~~Arthrodire ~~fish of Asia~~genera]] [[Category:~~Prehistoric fish~~Placoderms of ~~Australia~~Asia]] [[Category:Placoderms of Australia]] ▲{{Placodermi\|Ar.}} {{Placoderm-stub}}
