Today is Mary Anning's 215th birthday, check out the cool Google doodle and write up in this great blog!
Mary is one of the most well known, female paleontologist (from the pre-20th Century) and is a great example someone who became great by doing something they loved. Mary made some fabulous discoveries of Jurassic marine creatures on the British coast (ammonites, ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs, etc.) and got to work in one of the coolest localities... Lyme Regis!
