Wegener did NOT use the magnetic properties of different-aged rock, or paleomagnetisms, as evidence of continental drift. This concept was developed later, after Wegener's time. His primary evidence included fossils, mountain chains, and the fitting shapes of continents.
Which of these did Wegener NOT use as evidence of continental drift?(1 point)
Responses
Fossils of the same species, such as Mesosaurus, were found on different continents separated by vast oceans.

Mountain chains of similar age and composition can be found on different continents.

The shapes of the continents appear to fit together like puzzle pieces creating one giant land mass.
