Mary Anning lived 200 years ago. Despite all odds, she became a successful fossil hunter and is now heralded as a leading figure in the science of palaeontology. She made many of her discoveries of 'sea dragons' as a teenager. AI technology enables us to tell Mary's well-known story with brand-new images - to inspire curious readers of all ages.
Mary Anning lived about 200 years ago. A bright girl from a poor family living in a small town on the south coast of
England, she became a successful fossil hunter, dealer and self-taught scientist.
While not fully recognised in her own lifetime because she was a woman and of the wrong social class, she is now
heralded as a leading figure in the science of palaeontology, which at the time did not even have a name
Her story is well known but there is only one image of her,painted shortly before her death at age 47. She made many
of her important discoveries of 'mythical sea dragons' as a teenager and in her twenties. Now, AI technology enables
us to tell Mary's exceptional story with brand-new images - for curious readers of all ages and to help inspire today's
young fossil entrepreneurs who follow in her wake.
