Question

which fossil found in both southern africa and southern south american provides evidence used by wegener to support the theory of continental drift?
o brachiosaur
o triceratops
o tyrannosaurus
o mesosaur

Explanation:

Alfred Wegener used the distribution of fossils like mesosaurus to support continental - drift theory. Mesosaurus was a small aquatic reptile. Its fossils found in both southern Africa and southern South America suggest that these continents were once joined, as mesosaurus was not capable of crossing the wide ocean that now separates them. The other dinosaurs listed (brachiosaur, triceratops, tyrannosaurus) were not found in both these regions as evidence for continental drift.

Answer:

D. mesosaur
