Well yes Pangaea.
It were?
No, Rodinia - a supercontinent that formed 850 million years (give or take) earlier than Pangaea.
Interesting evidence to support a hypothesis that's been around for a while (long-ago connection of western North America to eastern Antarctica).
Stop trying to confuse everyone with these silly made-up continents from hundreds of millions of years ago. Everyone knows the earth was created on October 23, 4004 BC.
Or it could be the boulder was placed there as part of some ancient avante garde art project.
cool stuff here
Since Ward Churchill, we should never be too certain about anything from a boulder.
