You are invited to join the VIPS link for the presentation, The Mary Anning Story “Struck by Lightning”, the amazing true life story about Mary Anning, fossil huntress and first woman of science.
On Sunday, March 24th at 2:00 pm PDT, the virtual meeting link will be posted to the page linked here http://www.fossiltalksandfieldtrips.com/.
This story occurs about 200 years ago at the time of the birth of paleontology, 1799-1847.
The scene is along the rugged south west coast of England in the little town of Lyme Regis in the 1800s. This area is possibly the most popular area in England to collect fossils. Today this 95 mile long stretch of coastline, which is now referred to as the “Jurassic Coast”, has over one million visitors each year.
The cliffs erode at a very rapid rate and every year expose literally tens of thousands of fossils. This is a fossil hunter’s dream.
