You would have a point if they found living specimens in the meteorite. As it stands, they found organisms that have died a long time ago and that greatly resemble organisms that have died a long time ago. Dead things don't evolve, so placing their lives at the same chronological point is not a problem.

There certainly is not any sign of this being fossilized material… There are no extinct taxa found, only ones we would find living today…"
