Wegener noticed fossils of the freshwater reptile Mesosaurus in both South America and Africa, even though it couldn’t have swum across the ocean.
He also found land animal fossils like Lystrosaurus and Cynognathus on Africa, India, and Antarctica, which suggests those continents were once connected.
Matching plant fossils such as the seed fern Glossopteris on many southern continents helped support his idea of continental drift and the later theory of plate tectonics.
