Mary Anning

Mary Anning was born in England on 21 May 1799. She lived in the seaside town of Lyme Regis, In Dorest.

Mary Anning was born in a poor family. Her parents had nine children. Only Mary and her brother Joseph grew up. The other children died. As a baby, Mary was saved by a woman in a thunderstorm. Her father died when she was very young. She didn't go to school, but she could read and write.

Mary Anning was not trained as a scientist, but her finds changed science. She made only one trip away from home in her whole life. Famous scientists came to see her. They wanted to see the fossils she found.

I think she was very intelligent becouse she didn't go to school but she could read and write. She's not trained to be a scientist but she became a famous scientist.

" The world has used me so unkindly, I fear it has made me suspicious of everyone "
