jan 1, 1912 - Alfred Wegener

Description:

While browsing the university library one day Alfred came across a scientific paper that listed fossils of identical plants and animals found on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Fascinated by this information, Wegener began to look for, and find, more cases of similar organisms separated by great oceans. The continents fit together like a jig-saw puzzle.
