The match of the coasts of the continents of South America, and of Africa have been noted from very old times. The discovery of fossils which spanned across current oceans (the south Atlantic for example) indicated that there had been earlier arrangements.

Fossil magnetism of the rocks was another clue.

Some earlier continental assembly arrangements are called Rodina, and Columbia - our present one is Pangaea.
