Fossil in Antarctica Links Continents in Ancient Drift
New fossil finds near the Beardmore Glacier in Antarctica strengthen the theory that southern landmasses were once joined. Laurence M.

The specimen, a reptile-like amphibian, suggests ties between Antarctica and Africa, India, Australia, and South America as landmasses.
