Pretty neat to see how South America separated from the mass and how Florida was once part of it's northern coast.

I don't have a link, but there are graphics of what the land masses will look like in the future, too.  They just keep drifting around.   :roll:

Eventually they will reform another super continet. rock sample from Flordia also show that it came off of Flordia. What is really interesting is rocks in western Montana are the same as rocks found over in Asia.  It was the old coast line of NA before the mass of land either  rose  or excreted in from else where.
