| Abstract | Dipnoi is a large group of sarcopterygians which ranges from the Early Devonian to the present. Traditionally, it was considered that their taxonomic diversity decreased at the end of Paleozoic. Dipnoans are abundant in the fossil record and their preservation state varies. The material study herein was collected in La Invernada locality, at 50 km southwest from the Rincon de los Sauces city, Neuquen Province, Argentina. We present the i rst dipnoan skull record from the Mesozoic of South America and gives a preliminary description of the material. The new specimens have been identii ed as a Ceratodontidae indet. |
