Description
Muzaffarabadmachli is known from fragmentary remains, based on half of the body with ribs. Muzaffarabadmachli is similar to most agnathan fish by having a parallel limb cross-section and coarse but straight ribs. Muzaffarabadmachli is known from several autapomorphies, most notably many thick segments directed lateroposteriorly each spine is roughly 2.8 centimeters long. The fish appears to have appeared at the Cambrian Explosion, close to Haikouichthys. Each limb is roughly 10 centimeters long, each segment 0.3 centimeters wide and 3 long.
