And what evidence I have that supports my theory. The meaning of this letter that you have just received today is to prove to you all that my theory of continental drift is quite correct. The first point that I bring to your attention is what continental drift really was.
Continental drift was what cause all the continents to drift together about 200 million years ago forming a super continent that we have named Pangaea. Then around the Jurassic period in time Pangaea broke apart and in this formed two smaller continents.
The two smaller continents were called laurasia witch was the northern island witch contained of present day north America, Europe, and Asia. The second island or super continent was called Gondwanaland and it was made up of present day Antarctica, Australia, and South America. The second point that I am presenting to you is even more evidence that supports the theory of continental drift. My partner Eduard Suess have discovered many things that are overwhelming evidence that go toward continental drift. One o those was we found fossils of a plant called glossopteris on south America and south Africa . We also found fossils of a few other animals including the mesosaurus, lystrosaurus, and the cynogathus on different continents that line up
