When Pangaea broke up, the re-formed Gondwana continent was not precisely the same as before Pangaea formed; for example, most of Florida and southern Georgia and Alabama are underlain by rocks that were originally part of Gondwana but that were left attached to North America when Pangaea broke apart.
During the late Paleozoic, Gondwana extended from a point at or near the south pole to near the equator.
India was further broken into the Madagascar block and a narrow remnant microcontinent presently occupied by the Seychelles Islands; elements of this breakup are nearly coincident with the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event that wiped out about 50% of all species on the planet, most notably the dinosaurs, 65 million years ago.

 Gondwana (India) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gondwana, sometimes called Gondaranya, is a region of central India, and is named after the Gondi people who live there (though they can also be found in other parts of India).
The name of the ancient continent of Gondwanaland was derived from Gondwana, because some of the earliest rock formations of this continent were first investigated in part of the region, in modern Orissa.
Gondwana has a relatively high proportion of peoples of the "scheduled tribes" of India, which include the Gonds.

The Gondwana party was formed in 1991 by Hira Singh Markam, a former BJP MLA of Chhattisgarh who left the party because “he was not allowed to speak in the Assembly by the upper-caste leaders”.
This time, the Gondwana is contesting 81 seats in the tribal-dominated Mahakoshal region where the Congress won 32 of the 51 seats in 1998, thanks to the tribal-vote consolidation.
Gondwana came into the limelight after it held a rally in Bhopal on January 7, 2002, where Markam only spoke of how tribal land and properties were “forcibly usurped” by successive governments and that it was high time they fought for its reclamation.

The assembly of Gondwana was a protracted process beginning with the breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent.
Gondwana persisted as a large continental block and eventually collided with Laurasia to form the supercontinent of Pangea.
Although Gondwana was centered, in the late Paleozoic, roughly where Antarctica is today (at the extreme south of the globe), the climate was generally mild.

 Gondwana metal potential GIS - What's Gondwana ?
Africa, Arabia, India, South America, Antarctica and Australia are continental blocks resulting from the breakup of the supercontinent, Gondwana, which was initiated around 150 Ma.
Gondwana was assembled into a distinct form between 700 and 500 Ma, during the Neoproterozoic orogenic events, by tectonic accretion of older cratons, island arcs and oceanic crust relics.
Since the Jurassic, the Pangea, and therefore also Gondwana, were fragmented and began their evolution into the present-day configuration of the continents, as displayed by the present animation.

The restoration of the northern margin of Gondwana remains an enormous challenge: e.g., it requires the unstraining and reconstruction of the northern margin of India, now crumpled up as the Himalayan mountains and possibly partly buried beneath Tibet, and it requires the unraveling of complex internal deformations superimposed on the microplates during their evolution.
Gondwana comprised a mosaic of many highly varied Precambrian terrains, separated by late Proterozoic-early Paleozoic orogenic belts; the early history of these belts, particularly the transcontinental belts of Africa (named the Pan-African belts) (22) can be traced back in time to about 1000 Ma.
From geologic and paleomagnetic evidence it is known that central Gondwana drifted from a polar region to equatorial latitudes between the mid-Paleozoic and the early Mesozoic.

 Dinosaur Dreaming common questions, Monash Science Centre
As Gondwana broke apart, at the point that the valley between the rifting continents was low enough the oceans flooded the valley, creating a new sea between them.
The break up of Gondwana began during the time that Dinosaurs were the dominant land animals (in the Cretaceous - 120 million years ago), but it was such a slow process that they were unlikely to be affected by it.
The first person to recognise the significance of fossils, as being bones and evidence of past life, was Georges Cuvier, at the end of the 18th Century, who described the bones of extinct elephants, compared them to living elephants, and recognised the fossils as being ancestors to living elephants.

The southern supercontinent Gondwana (originally Gondwanaland) included most of the landmasses which make up today's continents of the southern hemisphere, including Antarctica, South America, Africa, Madagascar, India, Australia-New Guinea, New Zealand, and New Caledonia.
The continent was named by Eduard Suess after Gondwana, a region of eastern India, in which some of the geology of the ancient continent was determined.

Gondwana comprised the precursors of the current continents of Australia, Antarctica, South America, and, in its earlier stages, southern Africa and India.
As the super-continent of Gondwana broke up, the ancestors of many of today's plants and animals became separated, drifting apart on the continental plates which would eventually reach their current positions and display faunas and floras that bear many similarities across the southern continents.
Africa and India where the first to break away from Gondwana, drifting north and ultimately connecting with the Eurasian continent.
