Mary Anning
When Mary was little, her family was very poor. She used to help her dad to comb for shells and bones up high on dangerous cliffs. After receiving a book as a gift from a kind benefactor, Mary learned all about fossils. She continued to hunt for them and made the startling discovery of a complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur. Sadly, she wasn't allowed to study along with all the other men, but she carried on making her own discoveries - including dinosaur poo! - and advising the Geological Society when they needed help. It took a lifetime to receive recognition but we all remember her now as the mother of paleontology. This roar-some book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the paleontologist's life.

Jennifer Clack (1947–2020)
Clack amassed an unprecedented trove of several hundred tetrapod fossils from the Devonian (419 million to 359 million years ago) and Carboniferous periods (359 million to 299 million years ago). [...]Clack did a oneyear graduate certificate in museum studies at the University of Leicester, which led to a job at the City of Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. In 1986, she made a chance discovery that defined her career: in the Sedgwick Museum in Cambridge she found fossils of Late Devonian tetrapods from eastern Greenland, collected in the 1960s.
