| Amalgamation of the late Palaeozoic supercontinent Pangaea led to the collision of Gondwana with Laurasia forming the Variscan orogen. |
| During the Carboniferous, Laurasia and Gondwana collided and thus began the formation of the supercontinent Pangea. |
| Cimmeria begins its collision with Laurasia to form the Cimmerian orogeny. |
| The rodent fossil record dates back to the Paleocene on the supercontinent of Laurasia. |
| The Tethys Sea also expanded westward, splitting Pangaea into the supercontinents of Gondwana and Laurasia. |
| If you look up Gondwana, you will see in the Late Triassic an area between Gondwana and Laurasia called the Tethys Sea. |
