Mary Anning tribute

Following on from our previous post about a recent discovery of a ichthyosaur fossil at Rutland Water Nature Reserve, a young school girl, Evie Swire, has raised over £100,000 pounds to commission a statue of the famous fossil hunter, Mary Anning in her own home town https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-59846732

Can your children research the pioneering female scientist to find out why she was so special that they decided to create a statue in her memory?
