How do fossils support the evidence of pangaea?
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.

The name of the super continent was Gondwanna (sometimes as Gondwana). When it broke up, Australia and the other southern continents split from each other. And the Indian sub-continent headed off in a roughly northern direction to collide with Asia and create the Himalayas, which are still growing. At an earlier time, the Northern super continent and the Southern one were believed to be one super continent, Pangaea. The northern collection of continents and major islands was Laurasia, and the Southern one Gondwanna.
