OCCURRENCE. — Transcaucasia (Nakhichevan); Gnishik Horizon, Middle Permian, Murgabian (= Wordian). Lakaftari: central Iran, Jamal Formation, Middle Permian.

DESCRIPTION

Micrometric formula: 6-10/4-6.5//16-18.5. Reticulated colonies with straight branches, joined by dissepiments. Bifurcation common. Autozooecia arranged in 4-5 alternating rows on branches, becoming 7-8 in the place of bifurcation. Apertures circular, arranged in regular alternating rows, spaced 4-5 per length of a fenestrule. Shape of fenestrules varying from oval to rectangular. Keels absent. Nodes small, regularly spaced on the obverse colony surface.Internal granular skeleton thick, well developed, continuous with nodes, peristome and across dissepiments. Outer lamellar skeleton moderately thick, containing abundant hyaline rods 5-10 µm in diameter. Microacanthostyles moderately abundant, having distinct hyaline cores and dark laminated sheaths, 10-15 µm in diameter.

INTERIOR DESCRIPTION

Autozooecia rhombic in the middle tangential section, irregularly shaped in the place of bifurcation; high and short in longitudinal section, with well developed vestibule protruding highly above the colony surface; elongate to branch length; aperture positioned at distal to distal-abaxial end of chamber. Hemisepta absent.

COMPARISON

Mackinneyella robustiformis differs from M. praepluriformis in having smaller fenestrules and thinner branches, as well as in arrangement of microacanthostyles on the reverse surface.
