Eomurruna is a genus of procolophonid reptile that existed in what is now Queensland, Australia during the Early Triassic period (247-251 Mya). The genus is made up of a single species, E. yurrgensis, originally uncovered within the Arcadia Formation in 1985. Since then over 40 specimens have been referred to the genus, making Eomurruna one of the most complete organisms so far found from the Mesozoic of Australia.[1]
