Steropodon is a genus of prehistoric platypus-like monotreme, or egg-laying mammal. It contains a single species, Steropodon galmani, that lived about 105 to 93.3 million years ago (mya) during the Cretaceous period, from early to middle Cenomanian.[1] It is one of the oldest monotremes discovered, and is one of the oldest Australian mammal discoveries.
