Gladbachus is a possible [2] [3] genus of extinct chondrichthyan from the Middle Devonian Lower Plattenkalk of Germany. [4]
The holotype, UMZC 2000.32, was discovered in the Lower Plattenkalk of Unterthal, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany and it consists of a partial skull which has been compressed. [1] [5] Gladbachus adentatus was named and described by Heidtke & Krätschmer (2001). [1]
The holotype was redescribed by Coates et al. (2018). [5]
Gladbachus has been estimated to reach around 80 centimetres (31 in) long when fully grown. [5]
