Fossils are a very compelling evidence which tells us that ages ago, all continents were attached into one ultra continent called Pangaea. As a result from movement among tectonic plates, continents began to drift, and still are. Identical fossils on different continents which are suspected to have been connected once, support the Pangea claim. You may find many professional articles on the issue by googling "Fossils plate movement"
