its when you have dinosaurs on the west side of Africa and fossils of dino's on the east side of south america.... yepp thats how it is.
It supports the continental drift.
Yes, the presence of the same organisms on multiple continents suggests that at some point in the past, those continents were connected. This supports the theory of continental drift, which explains how landmasses have moved over time. The distribution of these similar organisms across different continents provides additional evidence for this theory.
Fossil distribution supports the theory of continental drift by showing similar fossil species found on continents that are now separated by vast oceans. This suggests that the continents were once connected and have since drifted apart. The distribution of fossils across continents provides evidence for the movement of landmasses over time.
The discovery of fossils of the same organism on different continents suggests that these landmasses were once connected as part of a single supercontinent. This supports the theory of plate tectonics, which explains the movement of Earth's lithosphere. The distribution of these fossils provides evidence for the movement of species across land bridges or through continental drift over millions of years.
There are fossils of animals that can only live in warm whether, that are all around the world, even on Antarctica

Alfred Wegener used evidence from the fit of continents, distribution of fossils, rock types, and ancient climate data to support his theory of continental drift.
Cynognathus is a good candidate for providing evidence for the continental drift theory because its fossil has been found in both South America and Africa, which were once connected in the supercontinent Gondwana. This distribution pattern supports the idea of continental drift, as it suggests that these continents were once joined together and later drifted apart.

Fossil distribution supports the theory of continental drift by showing similar species of plants and animals that lived on different continents that are now separated by oceans. This suggests that these continents were once joined together and over time drifted apart to their current positions. The presence of identical fossils on continents that are now separated is evidence that they were once part of the same landmass.
Evidence supporting continental drift includes the distribution of fossils and rock formations that match across continents, the fit of continental coastlines like puzzle pieces, and the alignment of mountain ranges and geological structures across continents. Additionally, the matching of ancient climates and glacial deposits across separate continents supports the theory of continental drift.
Biogeography, which studies the distribution of species, supports evolutionary theory by showing patterns of species distribution that align with the idea of common ancestry and evolution. Fossils provide physical evidence of species that have existed in the past, showing transitional forms and demonstrating the gradual changes in organisms over time, supporting the concept of descent with modification proposed by evolutionary theory.
