All marine Fossils older than 200,000,000 are from seas that used to Cover the
Continents. A better Question is why we a are still not covered with water if
their had been enough water to not only cover the Seas, but to also cover a
large portion of most continents.
No doubt much erosion has happened which is the only way any of the continents
was above water back then---the continents were higher. Also, when the
continents first started moving apart, Recurvature hadn't kicked in as much as
it did much later, so for a time the continents retained the smaller radius of
the Earth, which elevated their centers far above sea level.
Then, as the continents flattened out, the wrinkles became mountain ranges.
Besides, as you noted, a lot of water has shown up since then. There has been
far more vulcanism in the last 200,000,000 years than prior---This has released
far more water than that which has fallen from Space. Plus, all of the Rydberg
Matter Geo-Conjecture favours the formation of vast amounts of water. ---I
really hope the Earth Growth isn't steam-inflation or Yellowstone might be the
tip of an awful big steam-berg! --We really should be hedging our bets with
those Little-Pops!
Also, no one is saying that all the Continents Separated at exactly the same
time.
