Fossils of Glossopteris was found in Australia, Antarctica, India, South Africa and South America.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is part of the continental drift theory. It is said that before the world exists the way it does, it used to one big continent with no water bodies separating it. This historic continent came to be known as Pangea.

With time this singular continent broke into the seven continents we know now due to natural reasons. Alfred Wegener debates that the proof that these continents existed as one unit can be inferred from the fossil of Glossopteris. The fossil belonged to one person but was found on various different southern continents.
