In early 1915, the German
scientist Alfred Wegener developed a theory that the continents once
formed a giant super-continent that he called Pangaea. He speculated that
Earth took this form about 245 million years ago, during the Triassic
period of the Mesozoic era. (The Mesozoic is the era in which dinosaurs
lived.) A few years after Wegener proposed his theory, South African
geologist Alexander Du Toit further theorized that Pangaea divided into
two super-continents 205 million years ago. Du Toit called the northern
super- continent Laurasia and the southern one Gondwanaland.
Discuss where the fossil
remains have been found. Does this evidence support Wegener and Du
Toit's theory? Do you think it is sufficient evidence? What other
information would be helpful?
