Fossils of Mesosaurus have been found in
South America and Africa. Mesosaurus lived
in freshwater and on land. How do
Mesosaurus fossils support the past
existence of Pangaea?
Since Mesosaurus could only travel in freshwater, it
could not have passed through oceans (salt
water). Mesosaurus must have lived on both
continents when they were joined.
