Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mesosaurus was a reptile that lived in both eastern South America and southern Africa during the Permian period, suggesting that there was a land connection between the two areas at that time. This supports the theory of continental drift and the formation of the supercontinent Pangaea. Anomalocaris was a large marine predator from the Cambrian period, Arbustosaurus is not a real animal, and Glossopteris was a genus of plants that were found in both South America and Africa, but their distribution does not indicate a former land connection.
