Why did finding Mesosaurus fossils in South America and Africa support the hypothesis of continental drift?

F. Mesosaurus could only have ended fossilized on both continents if they were once together.

G. Mesosaurus was unable to swim across oceans, so the fact that its fossils were found on distant continents suggested those continents had once been fused together and later moved apart.

H. Mesosaurus is now found in colder parts of the world, which means the continents have drifted since the fossils were made.

I. Mesosaurus wasn't found in Asia, which Wegener thought was the only stable continent that hadn't moved.​
