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.

Alfred Wegener made an compelling case for the hypothesis that a supercontinent that we now call Pangea.

How does Mesosaurus fossils support the past existence of Pangaea?
Fossil forms in a rock and dirt covers it by digging through.
Name two types of evidence for continental drift and give examples of each type?
Plate tectonics and Pangaea you get evidence from ancient climate zones, land features, and fossils
What was the preserved remains of ancient organisms called?
The preserved remains of animals of evidence of their existence are Fossils Fosssils that provide evidence about the past are called trace fossils.
How are fossils important evidence of evolution list the different kinds of fossils?
the answer is elemetary
What was Alfred wegneres answer for his theory?
He used evidence from landform, climate, and fossils to support his theory of the continental drift.
The fact that similar fossils are found on both sides of the ocean is the evidence of what?
Pangaea
What are 3 types of evidence that support Pangaea?
fossils match up coast lines fit together coal deposits line up faults match up
What evidence did Wegeners have to support his theory?
Fossils support his hypothesis.
How do fossils support the theory of pangaea?
Similar species of fossil can be found on separate, but adjacent, continents
What evidence may be called to prove that there once existed a super continent called Pangaea?
Evidence to prove the existence of the supercontinent Pangaea includes fossil evidence of similar plant and animal species across continents, the matching shapes of coastlines and mountain ranges on different continents, and the distribution of ancient rock formations that line up when continents are fitted together. Additionally, geological evidence such as rock layers and paleoclimatic data also supports the theory of Pangaea's existence.
What evidence is there of Pangaea from climate?
The fossil of animals are evidence that support the theory of continental drift.
What are some evidence that pangaea existed?
Tropical fossils are being found in areas prone to artic animals now and artic fossils are being found in tropical places.
How does Mesosaurus fossils support the past existence of Pangaea?
Fossil forms in a rock and dirt covers it by digging through.
What showed proof for Alfred Wegener on Pangaea?
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.
What evidence is there of Pangaea?
fossils continents look like puzzle pieces (which means coastlines match up) rock samples that's bout it...
What are pieces of evidence that support the idea of Pangaea?
Continental Fit, Fossil Evidence and Sea floor Spreading. I just did this in science a month ago. :)
