Taxonomic remark Described as fossil fungal spores, however other sources assign to green algae. An algal origin is also "strongly supported" by geochemical evidence presented in Foster et al., 2002, presently followed in IRMNG; nevertheless the genus is treated as fungal in Saxena et al., 2021, which however includes no references later than 2000 for this taxon; these authors also state that Wilson's original material (several hundred specimens) came from a marine shale and that "no account of modern marine fungus comparable to Reduviasporonites catenulatus has been found during a search of the literature." Spina et al., 2015 state: Although R. chalastus shares some morphological features with the Trentepohliales algae, and shows similarity to Zygnematales algae, it displays additional traits typical of other green algae. For this reason, we think that it is a chlorophycean alga probably living in brackish waters." [details]
