Anning suspected the stones were fossilised faeces and suggested so to Buckland in 1824.

The Swiss palaeontologist Louis Agassiz visited Lyme in 1834 and worked with Anning to obtain and study fish fossils found in the region.

Anna Pinney, a young woman who sometimes accompanied Anning while she collected, wrote: " She says the world has used her ill ... these men of learning have sucked her brains, and made a great deal of publishing works, of which she furnished the contents, while she derived none of the advantages.

He was so impressed by her and her friend Elizabeth Philpot that he wrote in his journal: " Miss Philpot and Mary Anning have been able to show me with utter certainty which are the icthyodorulites dorsal fins of sharks that correspond to different types.

Also in 1821, Anning found the 20 ft ( 6 m ) skeleton from which the species Ichthyosaurus platydon ( now Temnodontosaurus platyodon ) would be named.

In contrast to the finding of the plesiosaur skeletons a few years earlier, for which she was not credited, when Buckland presented his findings on coprolites to the Geological Society, he mentioned Anning by name and praised her skill and industry in helping to solve the mystery.

In 2009 Tracy Chevalier wrote a historical novel entitled, Remarkable Creatures, in which Anning and Elizabeth Philpot were the main characters, and another historical novel about Anning, Curiosity by Joan Thomas, was published in March 2010.

A great supporter of the work and importance of Mary Anning, of Lyme Regis, De la Beche drew a sketch, in 1830, entitled Duria Antiquior-A More Ancient Dorset, which showed Mary Anning's finds: ( three types of Ichthyosaur, a Plesiosaur and Dimorphodon ).

The worked was supervised by Anning Bell and Marshall, who later designed the mosaic of Christ Enthroned which is above the entrance to the Cathedral.

His predictions about the plesiosaur were proved correct by the discovery of a nearly complete skeleton by Mary Anning in 1823, which Conybeare described to the Geological Society in 1824.

The Anning River, which runs into Yalong River, a tributary of the Jinsha River ( Yangtze River headwaters ), is the main river in the area.

Mary Anning ( 21 May 1799 – 9 March 1847 ) was a British fossil collector, dealer, and paleontologist who became known around the world for a number of important finds she made in the Jurassic marine fossil beds at Lyme Regis in Dorset, where she lived.

On 19 August 1800, when Anning was 15 months old, an event occurred that became part of local lore ; she was being held by a neighbour, Elizabeth Haskings, who was standing with two other women under an elm tree watching an equestrian show, being put on by a travelling company of horsemen, when lightning struck the tree.

Carus asked Anning to write her name and address in his pocketbook for future reference — she wrote it as " Mary Annins "— and when she handed it back to him she told him: " I am well known throughout the whole of Europe.

Although Anning knew more about fossils and geology than many of the wealthy fossilists to whom she sold, it was always the gentlemen geologists who published the scientific descriptions of the specimens she found, often neglecting to mention her name.

Charlotte, who travelled widely and met many prominent geologists through her work with her husband, helped Anning build her network of customers throughout Europe, and Anning stayed with the Murchisons when she visited London in 1829.

Anning, who was devoutly religious, actively supported her new church as she had her old.

Deborah Cadbury says that she invested with a conman who swindled her and disappeared with the money, but Shelley Emling writes that is not clear whether the man ran off with the money or whether he died suddenly leaving Anning with no way to recover the investment.

When Conybeare presented his analysis of plesiosaur anatomy to a meeting of the Geological Society in 1824, he again failed to mention Anning by name, even though she had collected both skeletons and she had made the sketch of the second skeleton he used in his presentation.

Anning searched for fossils in the area's Blue Lias cliffs, particularly during the winter months when landslides exposed new fossils that had to be collected quickly before they were lost to the sea.

When geologist Henry De la Beche painted Duria Antiquior, the first widely circulated pictorial representation of a scene from prehistoric life derived from fossil reconstructions, he based it largely on fossils Anning had found, and sold prints of it for her benefit.

" The only scientific writing of hers published in her lifetime appeared in the Magazine of Natural History in 1839, an extract from a letter that Anning had written to the magazine's editor questioning one of its claims.

Although the stories about Anning tend to focus on her successes, Dennis Dean writes that her mother and brother were astute collectors too, and her parents had sold significant fossils before the father's death.

Her friend the geologist Henry De la Beche assisted her by commissioning Georg Scharf to make a lithographic print based on De la Beche's watercolour painting, Duria Antiquior, portraying life in prehistoric Dorset that was largely based on fossils Anning had found.

The papers never mentioned who had collected the fossil, and in the first one he even mistakenly credited the painstaking cleaning and preparation of the fossil performed by Anning to the staff at Bullock ’ s museum.

The overall theme of the record was partly inspired by the life of Ray and Dave Davies ' brother-in-law, Arthur Anning, who had married their older sister, Rose — herself the subject of an earlier Kinks song, " Rosie Won't You Please Come Home " ( 1966 )— and had emigrated to Australia after the war.

The style of the woodcut illustrations had a great influence on late-nineteenth century English illustrators, such as Aubrey Beardsley, Walter Crane, and Robert Anning Bell.

* 1829 — Buckland publishes paper on work he and Mary Anning had done identifying and analyzing fossilized feces found at Lyme Regis and elsewhere.

Fossils discovered and described by Gideon Mantell, William Buckland, Mary Anning, and Richard Owen among others helped establish that there had been an ' age of reptiles ' that had preceded even the prehistoric mammals.

The fossil hunter Mary Anning had noticed that " bezoar stones " were often found in the abdominal region of ichthyosaur skeletons found in the Lias formation at Lyme Regis.

The Yellow Yi had originally migrated from Sichuan, and live in 4 villages in northwestern Fumin County ( endangered ) and 1 village in northwestern Anning County ( moribund, highly endangered ).

Many geologists and fossil collectors from Europe and America visited Anning at Lyme, including the geologist George William Featherstonhaugh, who called Anning a " very clever funny Creature.

This speculation was confirmed over the next two decades by a series of spectacular finds, mostly by English geologists and fossil collectors such as Mary Anning, William Conybeare, William Buckland, and Gideon Mantell, who found and described the first ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and dinosaurs.

* Mary Anning ( 1799 – 1847 ) was an early British fossil collector and palaeontologist.

This area was home to Mary Anning, a palaeontologist who studied the fossils of the coastline around Lyme Regis and discovered the first complete Ichthyosaur fossil at the Spittles.

The first complete ichthyosaur fossil was found in 1811 by Mary Anning in Lyme Regis, along what is now called the Jurassic Coast.

Notable among these were the discoveries made by self-educated palaeontologist and fossil collector Mary Anning, in the 1820s.

Ichthyosaurus was the first complete fossil to be discovered in the early 19th century by Mary Anning in England.

The first fossil remains now attributed to Dimorphodon were found in England by fossil collector Mary Anning, at Lyme Regis in Dorset, UK in December 1828.
