The footprints, impressed into mud and silt along ancient rivers and lakes, were found more than 3,700 miles, or 6,000 kilometers, away from each other. Dinosaurs made the tracks 120 million years ago on a single supercontinent known as Gondwana—which broke off from the larger landmass of Pangea, Jacobs said.

Fun fact: dinosaurs that lived a long time ago had feet, just like the dinosaurs that live today also have feet.

Yes, but they generally had twice as many back then.

We also have bands of fossil animals and plants that extend across the split. There’s lots not of support for Pangea.

It is a relief that there are no continental drift deniers.

That’s only because it’s too abstract a concept for them to get riled up about. They just fold it into their young earth creationism and go on not thinking about it because it hurts their head.

Let me tell you about these people that call themselves “flat-earthers”…

Yeah, that’s not true. Pangaea is a libtard hoax designed by the globalists to make you think the world was smaller at a time and normalise everyday Americans losing their jobs to China. In reality China has always been this far away and stone age American traders would have also had high import tax on shoddy imported axes and knives.

Everybody knows Americans in the ancient era should focus on scouting its home continent so you can plan and maximise the manifest destiny modifier
