    Happy birthday Mary Anning

    Happy birthday Mary Anning born on this day 21 May 1799. Known around the world for the amazing discoveries she made in Jurassic marine fossil beds in the cliffs along the English Channel at Lyme Regis .In celebration I am show my coin collection. I think this is the perfect place to remember her incredible achievements hats off to one of our heroes. Cheers Bobby
  3. Mary Anning: Lyme Regis fossil hunter's rare biography published BBC News, January 12, 2023 The open access paper is: Taylor, M.A. and Benton, M.J., 2023. The Life of Mary Anning, Fossil Collector of Lyme Regis: a Contemporary Biographical Memoir by George Roberts. Journal of the Geological Society, pp.jgs2022-053. Yours, Paul H.
  4. A priceless fossil destroyed in WWII has resurfaced in an unusual way Ashley Strickland, November 4, 2022 "The original fossil was highly significant in being the very first complete skeleton of any prehistoric reptile fossil ever found at the time,..." The open access paper is: Lomax, D.R. and Massare, J.A., 2022. Rediscovery of two casts of the historically important ‘Proteo-saurus’, the first complete ichthyosaur skeleton. Royal Society Open Science, 9(11), p.220966. Your, Paul H.
  5. First up, I am not claiming that casts are of equal importance to the actual skeleton. I am annoyed however I come across arguments by anti-collectors that it is not feasible for museums to cast fossils in private collection. The recent rediscovery of the "Proteosaurus" casts should prove beyond any doubt that while a cast isn't on par with the original, they can still provide invaluable research data to paleontologists. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsos.220966 I hope that more paleontologists can consider partnering with private collectors and vice versa. I am sure the majority of private collectors would be happy to loan their fossils to museums

    Lyme Regis Museum

    Here are some good pictures of the Lyme Regis Museum in Dorset, England that contains Mary Anning memorabilia. I did not realize that the museum is on the site of her house. https://www.mindat.org/article.php/4337/The+Lyme+Regis+museum+

    Statue to Mary Anning

    Another one I don't know where to put. The statue has been unveiled I think today. I love looking at her finds in museums, and she was so important. I picked this article because it actually shows what the statue looks like. https://www-bbc-co-uk.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-61520324.amp?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQKKAFQArABIIACAw%3D%3D#amp_tf=From %1%24s&aoh=16531625375122&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com
  8. Mary Anning: Planning application lodged for Lyme Regis statue BBC News, November 23, 2021 Lyme Regis Mary Anning statue designs released BBC News, January 5, 2021 Lyme Regis Mary Anning statue 'on track' for May (2022) unveiling BBC News, July 28, 2021 Yours, Paul H.
  9. A happy birthday to Mary Anning. One of the greatest fossil collector and palaeontologist. Who became known around the world for finds she made in Jurassic marine fossil beds of the cliffs of Lyme Regis, Dorset in Southwest England. Her amazing discoveries included the first correctly identified ichthyosaur skeleton; the first two nearly complete plesiosaurskeletons; the first pterosaurskeleton located outside Germany, as illustrated by these lovely coins for the royal mint and NHML.
  10. Following with the recent recognition of Mary Anning the Royal Mint has announced a commemorative coin collection in her name. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-dorset-56182579 As part of the Royal Mint's "Tales of the Earth" series this follows dinosaur coins they minted last year. https://www.royalmint.com/our-coins/events/the-dinosauria-collection/ I find it really interesting how they're also tying in education on British paleontology and paleontologists. The new coins will also feature AR to discuss more about the specific fossils. A little fancy for me but I'm sure the educational information will accompany the Royal Mint website like they did in the Dinosauria Collection. Maybe some nice invertebrate fossils will appear on Tales of the Earth coins in the future.

    Ammonite Movie

    I just found out about this movie! https://m.imdb.com/title/tt7983894/ Biggest Fossil related movie since Jurassic Park series. Has anyone seen it yet?
  12. Popular movie makers decided that the real life of one of the most important paleontologists ever, Mary Anning, was not interesting enough when they created the movie, Ammonite, to be released in September in Cannes, France. The makers decided that they could spice things up by turning the movie into a fictional romance. I kind of wish that PBS or the BBC could have made it instead. Be careful when learning history with something made by popular movie makers. EDIT: My gosh. I see that the BBC did help to produce this movie partially shot on location in Lyme. Hopefully this semi fictionalized account will do Mary justice. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonite_(film) https://www.google.com/amp/s/entertainment.inquirer.net/385498/saoirse-ronan-kate-winslet--romance-film-to-get-french-premiere/amp https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/20/mary-anning--palaeontologist-women-film
  13. Hey everyone I'm back again with another Mary Anning-related question... I was recently reading a short biography of Mary Anning (Davis 2012). In the section on Anning's discovery of ink sacs in cephalopod fossils, the author quoted part of a letter from Mary Anning to William Buckland, from the 6th of February 1829. This is the excerpt of the letter: “Do you remember the live creatures you had put in spirits (if so my description may be acceptable). I got two more, one alive and it whenever it was touched ejected a purple fluid (this one Mr. De la Beach [sic: Beche] coveted, and has taken to some Naturalist to be described). The second I dissected at Miss Philpot's, it first had a shell this shape [sketch inserted] very like a smooth pectin only more concave, also a sac or ink bag exactly resembling the small bag (like the gizzard of a fowel [sic: fowl]...” Would anyone know where I can find a transcript of the whole letter? Thanks for any help!
  14. I was recently skimming through one of William Buckland's papers (in Geology and mineralogy considered with reference to natural theology). In the paper, he discussed (and illustrated) a squid fossil that had been found by Mary Anning, in the Lias/Jurassic of Lyme Regis in 1828 (see pic below). Would anyone happen to know in what museum this fossil currently is? Taken from Buckland (1837), plate 44'', fig. 1.
