Mackinneyella fenestrate genus has been reported first time from Lower Permian, Southern Urals ( Russia ) and then was found Lower Carboniferous to upper permian deposits from Australia , USA , Mongolia , China , Japan , Thailand and Tasmania . This genus is described for the first time from the Devonian deposits of the Kale Sardar section in Tabas area, Central Iran .
