 :South America (as it would become) and Africa were still connected in the Early Cretaceous and only fully unzipped from what was Gondwanaland by the Late Cretaceous.

 Ooh, spotted an error in the strip: the fossils that match up are Triassic, not Cretaceous. (This is actually an underappreciated geological/paleontological thing: the Atlantic Ocean is what ended the Triassic. The Atlantic crust started as a mantle plume that split apart Pangaea, causing the largest volcano in Earth's history... which is what drove the extinction of the rivals of the early dinosaurs.)
