　　Mary Anning is the finder of fossils,born in England.People had found fossils before Mary.No one knew what they were.Were the animals turned to stone by magic?Were the animals that died in The Flood,like in the Bible story,Noah’s Ark?When Mary was a child,no one knew about these long-dead animals.Mary’s fossil-hunting helped change the way people thought about the world.

　　She came from a poor family.The family had nine children.Only Mary and her brother Joseph grew up.Mary’s father took his children along the beach.They picked up shells and stones to sell to visitors.In 1811 Mary and Joseph were fossil hunting.Joseph saw a skull (头盖骨) sticking out of the rock.Mary had a hammer to chip away at the rock.Very carefully she uncovered a skeleton (骨架).It looked like a crocodile.She had found the first complete fossil ‘ichthyosaurus’,or ‘fish-lizard’.Mary did not go to school much.And schools did not teach children about fossils.Mary could read and write.She taught herself.She learned about rocks and how bodies are made.Most days Mary went fossil hunting with her dog,Tray.

　　Mary was not trained as a scientist,but her finds changed science.Mary made only one trip away from home in her whole life.Famous scientists came to see her.They wanted to see the fossils she found.Fossils are the hard remains of animals that died long ago.Fossils are clues about prehistoric (史前的) life 200 million years ago,and Dorset was beneath the sea.The sea was alive with strange animals.How evolution works was explained by Charles Darwin,not long after Mary died.Her fossils had helped scientists understand how things began.
