Answer: Before geologists accepted the continental drift theory, paleontologists knew that certain fossils of ancient land creatures could be found on continents that are separated by thousands of miles of ocean. For example, fossils of ancient reptiles called Cynognathus and Mesosaurus have been found on South America and Africa.
