From other sources
Taxonomic remark From Miao et al., 2024: ... eukaryotic algae (e.g., Urospora) present the best modern analogs for Q. magnifica. For these reasons, we infer that Q. magnifica was most likely photosynthetic, an interpretation congruent with molecular clock studies. ... the precise phylogenetic affinities of Q. magnifica remain uncertain, given both its great age and the absence of diagnostic features. If Q. magnifica were truly photosynthetic, it could represent extinct stem group Archaeplastida, stem group red or green algae, or, conceivably, an extinct eukaryotic lineage. [details]
