I love that she hunted for it despite being laughed at by the other children, and that she persisted in fossil hunting even though it was an odd thing for a woman, much less a 12-year-old girl, to do in early 19th C England. My daughter loved that Mary Anning found her first important fossil at the tender age of 12. The good: I found this book nearly as interesting as my daughter, and so didn’t mind reading it to her as many times as she asked. Plesiosaurus macrocephalus discovered by Mary Anning, Image via Wikipedia What I thought of Stone Girl, Bone Girl Among them was Charles Darwin, who used her fossils to help develop the theory of evolution, which he described in his book, On the Origin of Species, published in 1859. Although she herself never left Lyme Regis, the fossils Mary found made their way to museums worldwide and contributed to the work of many of the major scientists of the day. Over the years as she continued to hunt in and around the cliffs of Lyme Regis, Mary Anning found hundreds of fossils, including plesiosaurs, pterosaurs, and several more ichthyosaurs. Her first major find came at the age of 12, when she uncovered an ichthyosaur. She was just hunting for curiosities, which she could sell to tourists in Lyme to make a bit of money for her extremely poor family. When Mary began fossil hunting, she did not understand the significance of what she was finding.
