Mary Anning, the mother of paleontology and daring fossil hunter.
When Mary was little, her family was very poor. She used to help
her dad to comb for shells and bones up high on dangerous cliffs.
After receiving a book as a gift from a kind benefactor, Mary
learned all about fossils. She continued to hunt for them and made
the startling discovery of a complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur.
Sadly, she wasn't allowed to study along with all the other men,
but she carried on making her own discoveries - including dinosaur
poo! - and advising the Geological Society when they needed help.
It took a lifetime to receive recognition but we all remember her
now as the mother of paleontology. This roar-some book features
