She was born in 1799, and grew up collecting fossil specimen along with her father and older brother. Mary Anning would be credited with the discovery of the first complete ichthyosaur fossil and the first pterodactyl found in Britain.

The majority of her finds ended up in museums and personal collections without proper credit being given to her as the discoverer of the fossils.
