Laccognathus grossi is an extinct lobe-finned fish from eastern Europe. They existed during the Middle Devonian. The species is named after Walter Gross, who collected the first Laccognathus fossils belonging to L. panderi.[1]
L. grossi was first recovered from the Middle Devonian Lode Formation of Latvia by Emiliya Ivanovna Vorobyeva, who described it as a specimen of the known species L. panderi. Upon closer examination in 2005, she redescribed the specimen (as well as the genus) under the new name L. grossi.[1]
