text: In paleogeography , Laurasia was the northernmost of two supercontinents ( the other being Gondwana ) that formed part of the Pangaea supercontinent from approximately ( Mya ) . It separated from Gondwana ( the late Triassic era ) during the breakup of Pangaea , drifting further north after the split .
simplified: Pangaea split in the Jurassic into Laurasia and Gondwana to the south .
