Which fossil occurs on the most landmasses? & What does this suggest about when these particular continents broke up?

The Glossopteridales (Glossopteris fossils) occur on the most landmasses. Their distribution across several detached landmasses led scientists to believe that these were once merged into a single supercontinent, Pangea. Their wide distribution suggests that the continents were still together in the times of their existence (298.9 millions of years ago-252.17 millions of years ago). Scientific evidence suggests that Pangea did indeed split after this, 175 million years ago.

The Glossopteridales are the fossils that occur on the most of the landmasses. They are the extinct group of seed plants. The rapid appearance of this one gives us more understanding about the Paleobiography, this is the study of animals and plants distribution through the years.
The appearance of Glossopteridales fossils also helped scientists to study so much about their species, that includes their seeds, leaves, branches and their oddly shaped roots. They grew at the beginning of the Permian and started to extinct at the end of the Permian period.
