Analyze Fossil and Rock Distribution Practice Test

The map shows where the same land fossil (Fossil X) has been found on two continents that are currently separated by an ocean. Fossil X lived on land, and the fossils represent where the organism lived in the past (not where the bones were moved later). What does this distribution suggest about the past positions of the continents shown on the map?

Map A shows the current locations of the same land fossil (Fossil X) on two continents that are now separated by an ocean. The fossil represents organisms that lived on land in the past.

Based on the map, what does this evidence suggest about the past positions of the continents?

Legend: ★ = Fossil X site

(Continents are shown separated by the ocean today.)
