Stegosaurus lived between 155 and 150 million years ago. By that point, the continents had broken apart, and the seas created barriers to land animals. Thus, Stegosaurus never spread to all the continents. Stegosaurus fossils are known from North America, and its relatives, the stegosaurs, have been found in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

The theory of Pangaea is the theory that the Earth was once covered by one giant continent or land mass. The land mass supposedly started to break apart when the dinosaurs went extinct.

The theory also explains why our continents today are slowly drifting apart.
