Common footprints is hardly firm evidence of continental drift. the existence of land bridges such as the one connecting Siberia to Alaska demonstrate fauna can move across small land areas rather than relying on entire continents being joined. Secondly we know there is convergent evolution and its possible similar dinosaur "types" might have evolved separately across vast distances.

A more firm example of continental drift is the Boab.

this rare tree is found on east Africa, Madagascar, Saudi Arabia and Western Australia suggesting all these land masses were once joined.

Continental drift/plate tectonics has been firmly accepted for a long time. But this find is...its almost like the same one dinosaur took a stroll one day...and left a string of footprints...and the start of his stroll ended up on one side of the Atlantic, and the evidence of the end of his stroll ended up on the other side.

That's because Africa and South America were fused together at one point.

Yeah I know, but the whole "matching footprints" is just a publicity stunt to publicise the research. Common fossils of common species from different continents > actual imprints of footprints.
