Pangaea is known as the super continent, a super continent is when all the continents fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. this theory was known by Alfred Wegener. so coming back to question during the mesozoic era Pangaea was no more. all the continents drifted apart during the mesozoic era.
Crowders Mountain is part of the Appalachians, which formed during the Alleghenian Orogeny. The mountains formed when the continents of the time, Euramerica and Gondwana, collided to form the supercontinent Pangaea. The sections of the continents that collided correspond to the modern continents of Africa and North America.
Because they were all next to each other during the time of Pangaea when all land was conected. The fossils were carried away with the continents because of glacial movement.
During the Permian period 250 million years ago, all of the continents were massed together into one supercontinent, Pangaea. The Atlantic Ocean didn't form until Pangaea broke apart, with the Americas moving west and Africa and Europe moving east. That didn't begin until the late Jurassic, about 100 million years later.
You can tell because if that form of species originated in a certain area and if the fossil is found in a different area or continent you can tell that the species traveled then the land mass or super continent Pangaea separated and that species landed over there Example: If a species of animal originated in Africa and that specie was found in South America you can tell that that specie during the Pangaea time that species traveled, died, then the continents divided into the different forms to form the new day land form
All of them. "Pangaea", from the Latin "pan" meaning "all" and Gaea, the mother goddess of Earth, means "all of the Earth"; it was a single supercontinent that included all of the major land masses. The western bulge of South America was probably tucked in just south of the eastern bulge of Europe.

Its Laurasia and Gondwana..
Yes, they were. The combination of the continents was called Pangaea.
If continents combined, it would form a supercontinent. This process has occurred multiple times in Earth's history, with the most recent being Pangaea. Over time, geological processes such as plate tectonics would likely cause the supercontinent to break apart again.
Pangaea began to break up in the early Mesozoic Era. Pangaea may have actually been the last of four super continents found on Earth.
The original super-continent of Pangaea broke up about 200 million years ago during the Paleozoic era forming the continents of Gondwanaland and Laurasia. Gondwanaland later fragmented into Antarctica, Africa, Australia, India and South America. Similarly, Laurasia broke up into Asia, Europe and North America. The current 7 continents have been more or less in their current positions for the past few million years.
some things might be that they are made of the same continents but they just have different names.
Dinosaurs first evolved when all the continents were joined together as Pangaea. When the continents split up, they already lived on all of them. At times, land bridges connected continents, such as Asia or Europe to North America, during which times dinosaurs from each continent would spread to the other.
During the Permian, all the continents were joined together in the supercontinent Pangaea, which was covered mostly by desert.
Pangaea is the theory that all the continents were all connected in the palezoic era or about 250 million years ago. This theory is supported by the evidence that fossils of animals have been found throughout many continents. other evidences have to do with the similarities of the continents that are said to have been connected during that time period (like the similarities between South America and West Africa). If you look at the map you can see that the continents also look like a puzzle that can be connected together. Geologists have studied the plate tectonics have have come to the conclusion that the theory of Pangaea is seemingly accurate.
