Mary's story is fascinating. She was from a poor family and as a baby she was struck by lightning! Mary lived near the beach and she loved to go looking for all sorts of things in the sand and in the hills of Lyme Regis. In 1811 she found the very first complete ichthyosaurus.
Here is a fantastic and fun website all about Mary that a couple of our reading groups will be exploring next week. Mary Anning Website
