Fossils 'proof of land link'
NEW YORK, Thursday (AAP). — Chinese scientists believed they had found convincing evidence that it
was once possible to walk to China from the land now at the South Pole, the New York Times reported.
The discovery in north-west China of animal fossils strikingly similar to those of the same period from An-
tartica, South America and South Af-rica supports the view that those lands, now extremely remote from one
another, were once close and linked by land bridges.
The fossil remains of reptiles and am-phibians date from the Permian and Triassic periods, between 200
million and 270 million years ago.
It was during this time, according to the theory of drifting continental plates, that' a super-continent, which
the theorists call Pangaea, began to break
into two parts. The northern one, called Laurasia, eventually fragmented into Eurasia and North America, and
the southern one, called Gondwanaland, subdivided into South America, South Africa, Australia, Antartica
and India.
The Chinese findings support the view
that a broad link between Laurasia and
Gondwanaland survived long enough for the hulking beasts whose remains
have been found for example, in China as well as Argentina, to move freely between those places.
