It’s the “Mother of Paleontology,” Mary Anning’s, birthday! Born in 1799, she hailed from Dorset, England, & grew up collecting fossils. A few of her many accomplishments include unearthing one of the first ichthyosaurs & discovering Dimorphodon & Plesiosaurus!

Oh, look. It's I confess, I have always had as weakness for Heinrich Harder's incredibly weird 1912 pairing of a bizarrely long-necked, frilled ?tylosaurine with two ichthyosaurs and their exposed paddle bones. It's almost surrealism.
