You’re probably wondering why I am showing you a very old painting of a woman and her dog on a dinosaur article, but Mary Anning was a force to be reckoned when it comes to fossil hunting. Anning lived from 1799-1847 and had tremendous success in discovering some amazing fossils pertaining to the Jurassic period. Sadly, she wasn’t given the much-deserved credibility as she was a poor woman, and the world treated her unfairly. Another famous name within the fossil hunting community is Roy Chapman Andrews, the man to find the first dino nest.
