Question
5 which ancient reptiles fossils support the continental drift theory? a tyrannosaurus rex b stegosaurus c mesosaurus d pterodactyl
Mesosaurus was a freshwater reptile whose fossils are found only in eastern South America and southern Africa. This distribution makes sense if these continents were once connected, as proposed by the continental drift theory, since the reptile could not have crossed the open ocean. The other reptiles listed have fossils restricted to single continental regions, so they do not support the theory.
