The
most well-known geological evidence for separate continents once being joined
is the fossil record. A similarity among fossils along the coast lines of
different continents provides good evidence that they were once part of a supercontinent.
The same type of sediment has also been found on multiple different continents.
This is called ‘Permo-Carboniferous glacial sediment’. Finally, common
geological features of glaciers found on the different continents, i.e., the
presence of deposits called tillites, suggests the existence of a
supercontinent.
