a 130 million year old fossil that has been found in eastern Utah has revealed an entirely new group of reptile-like mammals that existed in north america. this evidence has revealed that the ancient super-continent Pangaea may have broken apart more slowly than scientists previously thought.

The Lystrosaurus is an extinct animal that lived in areas like Antarctica, India, China, South Africa, and Mongolia. Also was further proof for pangea, as rocks and fossils were found in different continents. Making Lystrosaurus an important animal.

The Mesosaurus is know to be a reptile that is similar to a crocodile. It is known to have lived during the early permian period, about 286 to 258 million years ago. The Mesosaurus remains have been found solely in South Africa and Eastern South America. if, back then, the continents looked like they looked know it would be impossible for the Mesosaurus to travel such a long distance because it was a coastal animal.

Many fossils were animals that were alive back then. I showed that there were fossils on different continents and this showed proof of pangea because they had to be connected for the fossils to be there. This is how fossils showed proof on Pangea.

The Cynognathus (a mammal) -which means 'dog jaw'- was alive during the time of the jurassic period (about 250 years ago), and it the Cynognathus was more like a modern wolf. As a land animal it is unable to migrate across water but its fossil were only found in South Africa and South America. Like the Lystrosaurus, its fossils show evidence of Pangea and the continental drift.

Since animals such as the mesosaurus, and other marine animals existed during the permian time. Fossils were found on different shores and areas on EACH continents. Which was the proof they needed to suggest that all the continents were joined at some point.

Mesosaurus lived in fresh ponds and lakes, the fossils of the mesosaurus were found about  290 - 280 million years ago. But they became extinct during the time of permian. A lot of other marine animals died out as well.

A fossil is defined if the animal decayed over 10,000 years. An animal fossil is a trace of an animal that has been there for a lot of years and it can tell us about where they lived and how they thrived as animals. One of the longest living animals is the snail. The snail has been roaming the earth for about 500 million years.

The Lystrosaurus was dominant on land in the early Triassic, about 250 million years ago. Its know as a herbivorous and grew to about one metre in length, with a stocky build like a pig. Fossils of Lystrosaurus are only found in Antarctica, India and South Africa. These fossils are evidence of pangea and the continental drift showing that Antarctica, India and South Africa showing that they were once connected.

At the beginning of the Jurassic, the Earth's continents were still jammed together, forming the supercontinent Pangaea, but they were beginning to drift apart. They were starting to die off slowly, which gave a rise to an end of dinosaurs in the Jurassic. The climate was hot and dry and at the beginning of the Jurassic, strongly seasonal.The dinosaurs dominated the near-tropical Earth during the Jurassic, and many new groups appeared. The gigantic sauropod dinosaurs, like the Diplodocus and Apatosaurus, diversified. Carnivorous theropods, like Allosaurus and Compsognathus, were abundant. Bird-like dinosaurs also flourished.

The Lystrosaurus, which translates The Lystrosaurus, which translates to “shovel reptile,” is a herbivore with a stout build like a pig. It is approximated that it grew up to one meter in length and was relatively dominant on land during the early Triassic period (250 million years ago). Lystrosaurus fossils are only found in Antarctica, India, and South Africa. Similar to the land dwelling Cynognathus, the Lystrosaurus would have not had the swimming capability to traverse any ocean.

Cynognathus was a mammal- like reptile. Its fossils were  found only in South America and in the south part of Africa. As a land species, the Cynognathus would not have been capable of migrating across the Atlantic. This suggested that the continents were once connected.

Fossils of Mesosaurus were found in both South America and South Africa. It would have been physically impossible for Mesosaurus to swim between the continents. This suggests that South America and Africa were once joined.
