it shows that Pangaea existed. "Wegener inferred that these reptiles lived on a single landmass that has since split apart."

How did the glossopteris prove continental drift?
god knows
Why is the fossil Glossopteris evidence of Gondwana?
Evidence of plate tectonics
How did the discovery of Glossopteris support Wegener and Continental Drift hypothesis?
It was found in Africa, Australia, India, South America, and Antarctica. All of these regions once were connected and had similar climates. And all of these landforms have a similar section of when they were connected
Do fossils and rocks support the hypothesis of continental drift?
yes it does, one fossil plant that helped support the hypothesis of the conentental drift is glossopteris.
What was the fossilized reptile found in S America and in Africa that was used for evidence for continental drift?
The Glossopteris, an ancient plant and Mesosaurus, an ancient reptile. lexii answered this question.
Did Glossopteris become extinct?
The glossopteris was a seed fern that was shaped like a tongue. The glossopteris became extinct about 252 million years ago, at the end of the Permian era.

What is so important about glossopteris?
Glossopteris is important because it is a genus of extinct seed fern that played a significant role in the theory of continental drift. Fossils of glossopteris plants have been found on multiple continents, providing evidence to support the idea that these landmasses were once connected as part of the supercontinent Gondwana.
What was the name of the floral fossils Wegener used for the idea of continental drift?
Glossopteris
