Yes the earth's landmasses were joined many times and named different names over the last 4 to 5 Billion years. The last big land mass was called Pangea and was formed about 195 Million years ago during the Jurassic Period. Have a look at the following website and it will show the different Geological Periods throughout earth's life and show the different names of the supercontinents during the different eras. Very informative and interesting. Hope you find it useful.

Mickataffe remembered correctly -- the super continent was called Gondwana (or sometimes, Gondwanaland). It was indeed still in place when the dinosaurs were roaming.

Yes like a jigsaw puzzle if you took a globe and cut out the continents they would all fit together.

Not Gondwana, Pangea. Pangea broke up into two supercontinents, Laurasia and Gondwana, then later they broke up into the continents that we know today.
