So Teletraan-X and Grimlock both claim that the Ark crash-landed on Pangaea some 65 million years ago. In real life, however, the supercontinent is believed to have broken apart early on into the Mesozoic era; by about 175 mya—the early Jurassic era—the continent had already split down the middle into Laurasia and Gondwana, and by the Late Cretaceous, 65 million years ago, the continents had further broken apart into something approximating the modern-day world map. It might be possible to no-prize this by saying that Grimlock and Teletraan were simply misinformed about which era of history their ship arrived in, but Teletraan-X also claims that he passed the time by talking to hadrosaurs, which were an exclusively Cretaceous species...
