The fossil remains of Lystrosaurus who is an extinct four-legged animal discovered in South Africa and India ( even though these animals lived together and did not posses the ability to swim) indicates that:

  • The South Africa and India are a part of different plates that separated with time.
  • These plates moved apart from each other slowly as soft rocks started forming along the edges of these plates pushing these two further apart.

Hence, the different locations of the fossil can be explained using the moving apart of the plates.
