SUMMARY:Talk: Mary Anning\, The Fossil Woman by Tom Sharpe
DESCRIPTION:Mary Anning\, Courtesy of The Geological Society.\n\n\n\n\n\nMary Anning collecting with her father (An1869 image)\n\n\n\n\n\nIntroduction: It has been said that more has been written about Mary Anning\, the fossil dealer of Lyme Regis\, than about any other geologist\, apart from Charles Darwin. But how much do we really know? How much is speculation? And how much is myth that has developed through the uncritical telling and retelling of her tale over the course of two centuries? Are we seeing a new Anning myth in the making\, thanks to a recent film? Separating the facts from the fictions about Mary Anning can be challenging\, but her story is a remarkable tale in its own right. This talk will examine what we know of the life of this extraordinary woman\, her famous – and less well-known – discoveries\, and her part within the wider network of the developing science of palaeontology in the early nineteenth century\, and will seek to dispel at least a few of the Mary myths. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPicture by Mary Anning in 1823 of her plesiosaur.

WGCG creates and publishes trail guides and interpretation panels. We survey local geological sites (LGS) and works to conserve some of them. We can provide bursaries via the Holloway Award. We invite you to take a look at the geology\, geodiversity\, iceage history revealed in the Brandon Wall. We hope you will find great interest in The Geology of Warwickshire provided by the Warwickshire Geological Conservation Group (WGCG) including Meriden Shafts\, Stratford Trail Guide\, Solihull\, Rugby\, Guides to Building Stones in many towns\, Corley Rocks and The Burton Dassett Hills Country Park.
