I find this artcle interesting because it's about if there was a supercontinet and it has to do with Texas. It just really makes you think, was there or wasnt there a supercontinet, if so how was it put together and how were they broken a part? Those are the questions I think about when this subjuct comes up. But I just think this is an interesting subject cause there are tons of theories but no real answsers. It just amazes me how many years it has been since it has happend. I want an answser and I don't at the same time. Because I want to see how many new theories people come up with and if they are accurate.

Texas and Antarctica Were Attached, Rocks Hint
Mario R. -- Staci Loewy is geochemist at California State University. She believes that Antarctica and El Paso, Texas use to be right nextdoor 300 million years ago(Pangaea). Pangaea broke apart 225 million years ago separating the continents and forming our techtonic plates. Scintists can tell that the continents were once one by following the mountains in different countries. An ancient valocano zone from Cannada to Texas tore some of the southern Franklin moutains 1.1 million years ago. Loewy compared rocks form in North America with rocks from the east coast of Antarctica. The rocks were a match, and Loewy thinks that the two rock have had been from the same eruption. So that confirms that there was a supercontinent.
