Britain’s greatest fossil hunter was a poor girl written out of her own discoveries. At twelve, Mary Anning dug the first ichthyosaur from the cliffs of Lyme Regis; later, the first complete plesiosaur — finds that rewrote the story of life on Earth. The men who published them credited the buyers, not her. She wasn’t even allowed to join their society.

So who discovers a thing — the finder, or the name on the paper? Follow Wild History Shorts for the women written out of history.
