Fallacosteus turneri is an extinct species of arthrodire placoderm from the late Devonian of the Gogo Formation of Western Australia. As with almost all other camuropiscids, F. turnerae had an elongated snout that may have enhanced its hydrodynamic streamlining.
The generic name translates as "deceptive bone," in reference to its extreme similarity to Camuropiscis. The specific name honors Sue Turner.
