Pangea What is Pangaea? Pangaea was a super continent at one time. Scientists use the similarity of rock types and fossil types that date to the same age to support their theory that the continents were connected to form a super continent. The map below give just one example of areas on different continents that show the same fossils and rock types. www.assignmentpoint.com
