Ferganoceratodus is a genus of prehistoric lungfish known from the Mesozoic of Asia and Africa. Based on morphological evidence, it has either been recovered as a basal member of the Ceratodontiformes or to be the sister group of the Neoceratodontidae (containing the extant Australian lungfish).

Species

The following species are currently classified in the genus:

  • Ferganoceratodus annekempae Cavin, Deesri & Chanthasit, 2020 (named after Anne Kemp) Phu Kradung Formation, Thailand, Late Jurassic-?earliest Cretaceous
  • Ferganoceratodus edwardsi Challands et al., 2023 Late Triassic (Norian)
  • Ferganoceratodus jurassicus Nessov and Kaznyshkin, 1985 Balabansai Formation, Kyrgyzstan, Middle Jurassic.
  • Ferganoceratodus martini Cavin et al., 2007 Phu Kradung Formation, Thailand, Late Jurassic-?earliest Cretaceous
  • Ferganoceratodus szechuanensis (Young, 1942) Huai Hin Lat Formation, Thailand, Late Triassic (Norian) South China, Jurassic, Khlong Min Formation, Thailand, Middle Jurassic, Phu Kradung Formation, Thailand, Late Jurassic-?earliest Cretaceous

Potential remains have also been reported from the late Early Cretaceous (Albian) of Tunisia, the Triassic of Germany, and the Late Cretaceous of Madagascar.
