How could fossils be clues to the continental drift?

Fossils can tell you that Pangea time really happened. Let’s say you find a fossil in North America for something normally found in Africa or a fossil in Europe for something that would otherwise be in South America. Wouldn’t that explain continental drift happened (the continents split)? It most certainly does.
