"They discovered that Reduviasporonites and modern fungi show similar chemical characteristics.”

Because if they were radically different they wouldn't both be Reduviasporonites, duh.

“Because if they were radically different they wouldn’t both be Reduviasporonites, duh.”

Or if one, reduviasporontites, was extinct then BOTH wouldn’t be reduviasporonites would they?

So it might really be of interest to compare the chemical characteristics of the two. Do I need to explain further?
