"continental drift"
Continental drift
Geographic similarities between continental margins on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and similarity of strata and fossils found on those margins.
Identical fossils on what are now separate continents show that at one time there were no boundaries between them. (i.e. no Atlantic Ocean).

they found fossils
Animal fossils have been found in many places in the ocean.
Continental drift
The same fossils found on different sides of the ocean.
in the bottom of the ocean
We know Pangaea existed because of fossil evidence. There were fossils of the same animal found on Africa and South America. This animal couldn't have possibly swam across the ocean. Therefore, making the idea of Pangaea plausible.
Fossil of an ocean fish found on two different continents would not be good evidence of continental drift because Fossils of land animals are a better piece of evidence of continental drift than fish.
