You are fossil hunting in the Southeastern United States and find a fossil that appears to be an early member of the family Camelidae. The family includes llamas (some of which are native to South America) and camels; however, there are no camels or llamas in the Southeastern United States. Which statement can explain your finding?

The explanation that may explain my discovery is that South America and North America were already connected, as if they were a single territory.

Explanation:

As you may already know, all continents were already connected one day, forming what is known as pangeia. This explanation that all continents were connected also states that South America and North America have already been connected. Because of this, some members of the Camelidae family may have moved from South America to North America and died and fossilized there.
