Kristof Vandecauter
There is also some internal evidence about

Mark 16:17-18
"And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues;
They shall take up serpents;
and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;
they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."

We see all those signs in the book of acts, but only Mark 16:17-18 really explains why those signs happened. (it's not addressed in any of the other gospels)

=============================

Kristof Vandecauter do you know if this has been pointed out in the literature?

The closest may be Nicholas P. Lunn, who does intersect Mark with Acts.

ETC - Lunn on the end of Mark - Part 2

Ch. 8 The Longer Ending and the Gospels: The Question of Dependence
Lunn will argue that Luke 24 and the speeches in Acts demonstrate 'through unmistakable verbal resonances, acquaintance with a Gospel of Mark that included 16:9-20'.

Lunn is confused with Mark before Luke, and he is using authorial babble-language. However, it would be good to look at the pages where he discusses Mark-Acts confluence.
