Yes, that is correct. The presence of the same extinct dinosaur on both the east coast of South America and the west coast of Africa suggests that these continents were once connected. This is further supported by the similarity of geological formations and fossils found on both continents, indicating that they were part of a single landmass known as Pangaea before they drifted apart due to plate tectonics.
