Wegener used fossil evidence to support his theories of continental drift and plate tectonics. He observed that identical fossils of plants and animals were found on different continents that are now separated by vast oceans. For example, fossils of the Mesosaurus, a small reptile, were found in both South America and Africa. These findings suggested that at one point in time, these continents were connected, supporting Wegener's theory that the continents were once part of a single supercontinent that later drifted apart.
