{{AFC comment|1=Original description is published in Scientific Research Publishing which is predatory journal, per WP:Predatory it should not be considered as valid. As I search this taxon name with Google Scholar, only studies by Malkani (describer) is shown and not discussed by other researchers. Original description is also mostly cited by Malkani himself, and nothing discussed about its validness. Since it is solely mentioned by Malkani, I don't think this can be accepted. Also see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Dinosaurs/Archive 35#Taxa named by Malkani. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 01:50, 12 August 2023 (UTC)}}.

Classification

It has been suggested that it was possibly the oldest known member of Agnatha, and Muzaffarabadmachli was found to be most closely related to Haikouichthys.{{cite web |title=Muzaffarabadmachli abbottabadi Malkani, 2019 |url=https://www.gbif.org/species/11192942 |access-date=23 July 2023 |website=www.gbif.org |language=en}}
