Perfect for children learning about woman scientists like Ada Lovelace, Jane Goodall, and Katherine Johnson.Mary Anning grew up on the south coast of England in a region rich in fossils. As teenagers, she and her brother Joseph discovered Englands first complete ichthyosaur.

Her findings helped shape scientific thinking about extinction and prehistoric life long before Darwin published his famous work on evolution. 520 $a With engaging text, photographs, and stunning paleoart, Fossil Hunter introduces this self-taught scientist, now recognized as one of the greatest fossilists the world has ever known. 650 $a Biography $x Nonfiction. 650 $a Childrens. $x nonfiction. 650 $a Science $x nonfiction. 650 $a History $x nonfiction. 941 $a 24 952 $l TBPD706 $d 20240621011338.0 952 $l SBPB074 $d 20240423010831.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314023546.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127011813.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104020838.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20231219014718.0 952 $l VUPB454 $d 20231208010919.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010032629.0 952 $l XCPB737 $d 20230808011226.0 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20230107012517.0 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20221008010913.0 952 $l JKPC771 $d 20221004013040.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20220928010730.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20220818013043.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630014447.0 952 $l XPPC367 $d 20220608011105.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20220531010627.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20220520010528.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20220414010150.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220330010342.0 952 $l MCPB423 $d 20220310125750.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20220304010426.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220301010153.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20220219010126.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=93FED95E915111EC8F8900B933ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
