Description

Mary Anning was a remarkable fossilist and dinosaur expert who made significant contributions to our understanding of prehistoric life. At just ten years old, she began finding fossils that would later become crucial to the field of paleontology. This biography explores Mary's life, from her early discoveries to her sales of important finds to wealthy scientists. Through her story, readers learn about life and society in 19th-century Britain, including what it was like to be born into a poor family and the roles of women in science at the time. The book features engaging illustrations and informative feature panels that bring the past to life, making it an ideal resource for class discussions and learning about the impact of individual people on history.
