Did you know?
One of the earliest, and most important palentologists to have ever lived was a woman called Mary Anning. Mary Anning’s work started when she was just 12 years old with her discovery of the Ichthyosaurus or ‘Fish Lizard’ – although we now know it was neither of these, but a marine reptile. It lived 201-194 million years ago.
She then went on to be the first to discover the complete skeleton of a Plesiosaurus – which everyone thought was a fake! Despite her growing reputation as a remarkable fossil finder, the scientific community weren’t the most welcoming bunch and failed to recognise her hard work.
In 1828 she discovered the first remains attributed to a Dimorphodon. It was the first pterosaur ever discovered outside Germany. This was later to become known as the Pterodactyl!
Mary continued to keep unearthing wonderful fossils, but still struggled to make a living. She tragically lost her battle to cancer at just 47 years old, but her legacy still remains with us to this day.
Although dinosaurs are considered a ‘boys’ thing – it’s obvious that girls have – and still can – ROCK the dino-scene in the most CLAW-SOME way!
