Matching jig-saw puzzle coastlines, particularly with the west coast of Africa and east coast of South America.

The way the continents seem to fit perfectly together is an indicator that they were once joined.

Although the conclusions drawn from the fossils may also suggest this, they also can be caused by similar climates of the continents.
