Mary Anning lived about 200 years ago. A bright girl from a poor family living in a small town on the south coast of England, she became a successful fossil hunter, dealer and self-taught scientist. While not fully recognised in her own lifetime because she was a woman and of the wrong social class, she is now heralded as a leading figure in the science of palaeontology, which at the time did not even have a name. Her story is well known but there is only one image of her, painted shortly before her death at age 47. She made many of her important discoveries of 'mythical sea dragons' as a teenager and in her twenties. Now, AI technology enables us to tell Mary's exceptional story with brand-new images - for curious readers of all ages and to help inspire today's young fossil entrepreneurs who follow in her wake.
