My daughter figured out the one-continent theory with a world jigsaw puzzle. The continent pieces all but fit together, as is.
It was quite frustrating to her. She kept trying to bend-off a piece of India -- but for that it would all snap togehter.

Antarctica was pretty far south, but not centered at the south pole, at the time:
That, in combination with the overall climate being much warmer at the time(no ice caps at either pole, which is normal for earth history; we currently live in an unusual time) is why there were dinosaurs in Antarctica.
