The division of the supercontinent, Pangaea, into Laurasia and Gondwana resulted in more diversity among animals and plants. Flowering plants gave another sustainable food source for many animals.

For decades, paleontologists believed dinosaurs got their start in the southern half of the supercontinent Pangaea—Gondwana—then took millions of years to reach the north, known as Laurasia.

The study's findings also suggest that dinosaurs and other reptiles may have a common origin in the low latitudes of Gondwana, before dispersing to the south of Gondwana and to Laurasia, the northern ...

Having evolved in western Gondwana, the researchers explain, dinosaurs spread outwards into southern Gondwana and the neighboring supercontinent Laurasia, which would eventually go on to break up ...

They spread outwards into southern Gondwana and to Laurasia –the supercontinent next to Gondwana that later split up into Europe, Asia, and North America.

The discovery of Archaeocursor asiaticus provides strong evidence for an early and independent migration of ornithischian dinosaurs from Gondwana to Laurasia.

The story of the Indian Ocean gravity hole began 180 million years ago with the Tethys Ocean, which existed between the supercontinents Laurasia and Gondwana.

Giant salamander species found in what was thought to be an icy ecosystem Found after its kind were thought extinct, and where it was thought to be too cold.

She said research which only began about 40 years ago shows that Gondwana was home to very different species, which evolved independently, from those found in Laurasia.
