Paper: https://www.pnas.org/content/112/35/10985 https://www.pnas.org/content/112/35/10985. Note that the paper comes to a slightly different conclusion than this summary article: in particular, it never claims that Montsechia might be ‘the original flowering plant’ as the article does, nor does it say that Ceratophyllum is a modern-day descendant of Montsechia (in fact, it says quite the opposite).
