At barely twelve years old, Mary Anning unearthed on the cliffs of England the first complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur: a giant marine reptile from 200 million years ago. Later she found the first plesiosaur.
Her discoveries helped prove that entire species had gone extinct in the past, a revolutionary idea for 1820. But the Geological Society of London did not admit women: others signed the studies about her fossils, and almost always forgot her name.
Today many of those skeletons are still in the museums. At last, with hers alongside them.
