15. PATIENCE – The Patience of Mary Anning

Today these and more of her finds can be found on display in museums around the world. You can even view the fossil of an Icthyosurus anningae named in Mary’s honor. You may be surprised to know that you already knew something about Mary before reading this story but never knew it. She is the inspiration behind the well-known tongue-twister that begins with these words: “ She sells seashells on the seashore.”
