Fossil forms in a rock and dirt covers it by digging through.
They found fossils of the Mesosaurus,Lystosaurus,and I believe the Cyrothagus.Sorry if t his is spelled wrong.
continental drift is when continents drift. They all formed from pangea, a super continent. Evidence to support this is the fossils of the cynognathus, mesosaurus and the lystrosaurus.
Pangaea implies at some part in the Earth's evolution, probably before the rise of mammals and intelligent life ( Man) there was one major world continent that since has split up into the present seven. As life of intelligent type did not exist at the time, there is no way fossils can be dragged in to prove things one way or the other, though it does have a relative bearing on Atlantis and Atlantean studies.
Modern plants and animals resemble fossils found in the same area.
The reversal of the poles on a magnet, put simply.,
Similar plant fossils were found in different parts of the world, indicating they used to be closer.
Similar species of fossil can be found on separate, but adjacent, continents

well cant say how uniformitarianism would support it but as far as index fossils go think about the fact that a for a single species to survive on multiple continents at same time it would need the same environment and apparently its not the case now but Pangaea was a single continent @ one place with single environment. so if any index fossils spread across multiple continents point towards them being of same environment and the most logical explanation is them being at the similar lat-long which sort of points us towards the idea that is Pangaea!
yes it does.
fossils match up coast lines fit together coal deposits line up faults match up

mesosaurus
Name a fossil that was found on different continents and was used to support the theory of continental drift.

If you go to google images and search Pangaea you will see that scientist guess that Antarctica was close to the equator.
