Send us a textA story of early Earth science in action! Mary Anning was a pioneering paleontologist and fossil hunter who reshaped our understanding of prehistoric life. Growing up by the seaside cliffs of Lyme Regis, England, she uncovered ancient creatures hidden in the rocks—like giant sea reptiles and even fossilized dinosaur poop! Her discoveries helped scientists understand that creatures could go extinct and that the Earth was much older than people once believed. Her work was often dismissed and she rarely received the credit she deserved. Today, she is known around the world as the unsung hero for the scientific study of life through fossils.

(image source: https://artpictures.club/autumn-2023.html)Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Michele C. Hollow discuss Temnodontosaurus, a rather large marine reptile with potentially the largest eyes of any animal ever at 10 inches wide. Sheesh, my most impressive body part in terms of size is only half that length! From the Early Jurassic, this 30-foot ichthyosaur was discovered by Mary Anning back in the 1810s and was the first ichthyosaur to be scientifically described, which is a neat piece of history.

Fossielen zijn de vaak versteende resten van mensen, dieren en planten die in gesteentes, modder of zandlagen worden teruggevonden. Die vondsten hebben mensen altijd gefascineerd maar ook voor raadsels gesteld. Waren het grillen van de natuur, vergelijkbaar met mineraalafzettingen of wonderbaarlijk gevormde zwerfsteen? Of waren het resten van ooit echt levende dieren? In het Mycene van 1200 voor de jaartelling bewaarden mensen fossielen van neushoorns, paarden en schelpen als iets bijzonders. In veel culturen in Azië, Europa en Amerika werden fossielen in verbinding gebracht met mythologische wezens. Nog in 1657 publiceerde de vermaarde dierenkenner Joannes een boek over viervoetige dieren met afbeeldingen van draken. Die waren vermoedelijk gebaseerd op fossiele reptielen. Op Cyprus werden fragmenten van een dwergnijlpaard in een kerk vereerd, omdat men dacht dat het een heilige was.Wat nuchterder keek de Griekse filosoof Xenophanes zo'n 500 jaar voor de jaartelling naar fossielen: zeeschelpen moesten toch wel aangeven dat sommige gebieden ooit onder water gestaan hadden. Goede beschrijvingen van fossielen leverde rond het jaar duizend de Perzische wetenschapper Ibn Sīnā (980 – 1037), een aantal eeuwen later gevolgd door bijvoorbeeld Leonardo da Vinci. Maar de positie van het christelijk geloof maakte het steeds moeilijker om fossiele vondsten te interpreteren. In de eerste plaats was er het grondidee dat Gods scheppingen volmaakt zijn, en dus kan van uitsterven geen sprake zijn. Vondsten van fossiele skeletten van grote dieren als mammoeten betekenden dus dat die ergens op aarde nog aanwezig moesten zijn, en dat kon natuurlijk altijd zolang de aarde niet compleet in beeld was. Wat dacht u trouwens van het monster van Loch Ness? En wat kan er wel nog niet in de diepe oceaan leven? De vondst van schelpen en andere resten van zeedieren ook in hoger gelegen steenformaties vormde wel een probleem. Daar bracht de zondvloed uitkomst. Daar waren indertijd waarschijnlijk heel wat zaken misgegaan, zoals ook de zondvloedmens in 1725 gevonden in Öhningen, vlakbij de Duitse kant van de Bodensee. En wel 4032 jaar na de zondvloed. Een jaar later werd deze vondst als de “homo diluvi testis” beschreven door Scheuchzer. In een voor zijn tijd revolutionair betoog beschreef hij dus dat wel degelijk dieren uitgestorven konden zijn, al was het dan alleen in de kerkelijk goedgekeurde variant van de zondvloed. De “verdronken zondaar” werd gekocht in 1802 voor de collectie van Tylers museum in Haarlem. Even later werd het exemplaar door de Franse palentoloog Cuvier in 1807 gedetermineerd als ”reuzen salamander”.In zijn gelijknamige boek heeft Jelle Reumer de geschiedenis van de paleontologie prachtig beschreven. Cuvier geloofde dan wel niet in het zondvloedverhaal, maar dacht toch wel aan catastrofen waarom dieren uitgestorven waren. Het is pas later duidelijk geworden dat Leonardo da Vinci al niets van die zondvloedtheorie moest hebben, dat kon volgens hem nooit verklaren waarom zeedieren hoog in de bergen terecht waren gekomen. Maar om dat in zijn tijd te publiceren was levensgevaarlijk, de brandstapel van de inquisitie dreigde, en dus schreef hij zijn aantekeningen over uitsterven van organismen in het geheim in spiegelschrift op, pas veel later ontdekt. Cuvier was een in veel opzichten een geniale onderzoeker, maar hij had ook zijn eigenzinnige opvattingen. Hij moest niet hebben van het systematische systeem van Linnaeus, en was het ook in het geheel niet eens met Lamaerck die veronderstelde dat soorten in elkaar over konden gaan. Tyler's bevat nog veel meer klassieke schatten van de paleontologie. Zoals die van een reuzenkrokodil die in Maastricht in de Pietersberg in 1764 was gevonden en in 1784 gekocht door de directeur van Tyler's. Uiteindelijk was het Adriaan Camper, een zoon van de in Groningen beroemde Petrus, die samen met Cuvier tot de conclusie kwam dat de Mososaurus geen krokodil maar een op een varaan lijkende reuzenhagedis was. Ook ligt te midden van veel anders prachtigs in Tyler's een mooie Plesiosaurus, een zee-reptiel van drie meter lengte ontdekt door een vroege vrouwelijke fossielen-zoekster aan de Jurassic Coast, Mary Anning.De veranderende inzichten in de geologie, zoals door Charles Lyell in 1830 gepubliceerd, tezamen met de uitwerking van de evolutieleer door Wallace en Darwin veranderde de interpretatie van fossielen uiteindelijk compleet. Die staat geheel in het teken van de ontwikkeling van soorten, waarvan verreweg het allergrootste deel weer is uitgestorven. Soms was dat door een catastrofe, zoals het eind van de dinosauriërs (op de vogels na), na een botsing met een komeet. Maar veel vaker als de uitkomst van de vele oorzaken die in de natuurlijke selectie van het voortbestaan een rol spelen. In de puzzel op zoek naar die oorzaken speelt de paleontologie onverminderd een rol, ook door steeds weer nieuwe vondsten, waaronder in ons land. Al zijn die niet zo spectaculair als recent in Schotland, waar 150 meter pootafdrukken van dinosauriërs werden blootgelegd.Vond je dit leuk?

Dicen que sobrevivió a la caída de un rayo siendo bebé y que desde entonces había en ella algo especial. Desde muy pequeña dedicó buena parte de su tiempo a buscar y recoger fósiles con su padre en el sur de Inglaterra, pero tuvo además la capacidad de transformar aquella tarea en una auténtica profesión que pronto conoceríamos como paleontología, en un viaje que además compartió con otras mujeres especiales. Junto a Adrián González hablamos de Mary Anning, una adelantada a su tiempo con un talento especial y que, como tantas otras, no lo tuvo nada fácil para lograr que su trabajo recibiera el merecido reconocimiento.

In this episode, Masie & Stuart excavate the queer lesbian historical drama film Ammonite (2020) directed by Francis Lee. Sparking minor discourse on social media upon its release, the film received negative comparisons to its genre contemporary from the previous year, A Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Are these comparisons fair though? Listen as our hosts dissect Ammonite's own unique tonal, aesthetic, and character writing strength, in addition to its interesting, if messy, attempts at queering the historical life of British paleotologist Mary Anning.

A baby girl who was miraculously brought back to life after being struck by lightning; a tween girl who obsessively dug up the skeletal remains of a 200-million years old 'fish lizard'; and the woman who ran a fossil-shop that was visited by the King—we dive into the story of Mary Anning's extraordinary life as an unheralded female paleontologist in 19th Century England in this episode. We also contemplate on how many accomplished women's histories we fail to pay attention to when we travel, because they have either been erased, or overshadowed by men.

Mary Anning war eine Pionierin der Paläontologie, deren Entdeckungen die wissenschaftliche Welt revolutionierten. Geboren 1799 in Lyme Regis, Dorset, wuchs Mary in bescheidenen Verhältnissen auf und begann schon als Kind mit ihrem Vater, Fossilien zu sammeln. Ihr erster großer Fund war mit zwölf Jahren das vollständige Skelett eines Ichthyosaurus. Mary Anning setzte ihre Forschungen fort und machte zahlreiche bedeutende Entdeckungen, darunter das erste vollständige Skelett eines Plesiosauriers und den ersten britischen Flugsaurier, ein Dimorphodon. Trotz ihrer fehlenden formalen Ausbildung erwarb sie durch Lesen und Korrespondenz mit führenden Gelehrten umfassendes Wissen. Ihr Leben war von persönlichen Tragödien und gesellschaftlichen Herausforderungen geprägt, doch ihr Vermächtnis lebt weiter. Ihre bahnbrechenden Entdeckungen und ihr Beitrag zur Wissenschaft inspirieren weiterhin Generationen von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern."Historische Heldinnen" lässt mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz wichtige Frauen der Weltgeschichte auf ihr eigenes Leben zurückblicken. Selbstbewusst erzählen sie uns von ihrem Mut und ihrer Durchsetzungskraft.Viertausendhertz 2024 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Two hundread years ago, the very first illustration of prehistoric times –in a scientific context– was brought to light. It was painted by British geologist and palaeontologist Henry De la Beche, who was inspired by fossils collected by Mary Anning. The artwork, known as “Duria Antiquior, a more ancient Dorset”, cuts through costal waters to depict the epic – and strangely simultaneous– battles between different marine species. But, hey, wait a minute! Did these species ever meet? Why are they so violent? How come there are no depictions of cyanobacteria “dominating” the planet 3 bilions years ago? Maybe this representation tells us more about humans than about prehistoric animals. Welcome to a brand new episode of Ferment Radio full of stories to be retold, deep time, cyanobacteria, and the inevitable fate that awaits all species: extinction. We are guided by Björn Kröger's expertise in marine paleoecology, paleobiology, and his interest in the history and philosophy of Earth sciences. Björn is also the Curator of the Paleontological Collections at the Finnish Museum of Natural History in Helsinki, and a docent at the University of Helsinki, Finland.

fWotD Episode 2573: Mary Anning Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Tuesday, 21 May 2024 is Mary Anning.Mary Anning (21 May 1799 – 9 March 1847) was an English fossil collector, dealer, and palaeontologist who became known around the world for the discoveries she made in Jurassic marine fossil beds in the cliffs along the English Channel at Lyme Regis in the county of Dorset in Southwest England. Anning's findings contributed to changes in scientific thinking about prehistoric life and the history of the Earth.Anning searched for fossils in the area's Blue Lias and Charmouth Mudstone cliffs, particularly during the winter months when landslides exposed new fossils that had to be collected quickly before they were lost to the sea. Her discoveries included the first correctly identified ichthyosaur skeleton when she was twelve years old; the first two nearly complete plesiosaur skeletons; the first pterosaur skeleton located outside Germany; and fish fossils. Her observations played a key role in the discovery that coprolites, known as bezoar stones at the time, were fossilised faeces, and she also discovered that belemnite fossils contained fossilised ink sacs like those of modern cephalopods.Anning struggled financially for much of her life. As a woman, she was not eligible to join the Geological Society of London, and did not always receive full credit for her scientific contributions. However, her friend, geologist Henry De la Beche, who painted Duria Antiquior, the first widely circulated pictorial representation of a scene from prehistoric life derived from fossil reconstructions, based it largely on fossils Anning had found and sold prints of it for her benefit.Anning became well known in geological circles in Britain, Europe, and America, and was consulted on issues of anatomy as well as fossil collecting. The only scientific writing of hers published in her lifetime appeared in the Magazine of Natural History in 1839, an extract from a letter that Anning had written to the magazine's editor questioning one of its claims. After her death in 1847, Anning's unusual life story attracted increasing interest.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:32 UTC on Tuesday, 21 May 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Mary Anning on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Kimberly Neural.

Sat, May 4, 2024, 1PM PST — Jean-Bernard Caron, Lower Cambrian Cranbrook Lagerstätte in the East Kootenay region of south-eastern British Columbia, Canada Jean-Bernard Caron is a French and Canadian palaeontologist and curator of invertebrate palaeontology at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.He will share his insights on the weird and wonderful marine fossil fauna from the many outcrops of the Lower Cambrian Eager Formation near the town of Cranbrook. His team did some extensive field work—particularly at the Silhouette Range locality—a few summers ago and we are keen to hear the results of their efforts. The fossils we find in the Eager Formation are slightly older than those found at the Burgess Shale Lagerstätte. Burgess is Middle Cambrian and the species match the Eager fauna one for one but the Eager fauna are much less varied. The specimens we find are wonderfully preserved and beautifully displayed in the Cranbrook History Centre. Sound the horns, beat the drums and stomp your feet—it's official! The Puntledge Elasmosaur is now British Columbia's Provincial Fossil. Mike Trask found the first elasmosaur in 1988 while exploring the Puntledge River with his daughter. He found the first terrestrial dinosaur remains from Vancouver Island and coined the term "sabre-toothed salmon" of legendary fame.It was Mike's twin brother Pat Trask, who led the excavation of the juvenile elasmosaur from the Trent River back in August 2020. He was joined by many talented souls from the Vancouver Island Palaeontological Society and Courtenay Museum.

Mary Anning (1799 - 1847) was a pioneering paleontologist. She is responsible for several important fossil finds along the southwestern coast of England that made waves in the world of natural science. Though for decades, her discoveries were instead credited to rich male collectors. For Further reading: The forgotten fossil hunter who transformed Britain's Jurassic Coast MARY ANNING Mary Anning: the unsung hero of fossil discovery This month, we're pulling back the curtain to reveal women overlooked in their own lifetimes or in our historical accounts of the eras in which they lived. We're talking about the activists, thinkers, leaders, artists, and innovators history has forgotten. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica.

After Francis Lee's celebrated queer debut God's Own Country, the director leveled up with another gay romance Ammonite, this time with Oscar-pedigreed stars. Kate Winslet stars as 19th century paleontologist Mary Anning opposite Saoirse Ronan as Charlotte Murchison; the two develop a seaside romance of opposites between the gruff Anning and the unfulfilled Murchison. But Lee's follow-up, … Continue reading "259 – Ammonite (with Christina Tucker!)"

On connaît aujourd'hui beaucoup de choses sur les dinosaures. Mais que sait-on sur la vie avant leur apparition ? Et qu'est-ce que c'est, en fait, la vie ? Écoute cet épisode du podcast “Curieux de sciences” pour découvrir avec Marie-Béatrice Forel, micropaléontologue au Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, comment tout est parti d'une petite cellule, il y a très, très longtemps… Dans cet épisode du podcast de “Curieux de sciences”, Grâce te raconte l'histoire d'une des premières chasseuses de fossiles, Mary Anning. Elle t'entraîne ensuite au Muséum d'Histoire naturelle où les Petits Curieux de sciences, Joséphine, Irène et Théophile, ont posé leurs questions sur l'origine de la vie à la micropaléontologue, Marie-Béatrice Forel. Des fossiles de dinosaures découverts par une fille de 12 ans ! Connais-tu Mary Anning ? C'est l'une des premières chasseuses de fossiles de l'histoire. Elle vivait dans le sud de l'Angleterre, il y a 200 ans. Après des mois de travail, elle a découvert avec son frère le premier squelette complet d'ichtyosaure, un reptile marin qui ressemblait à un gros dauphin. Ces créatures pouvaient mesurer jusqu'à 10 mètres de long. Mary a alors à peine 12 ans ! Depuis qu'elle est petite, elle accompagne son père et son frère sur la plage de Lyme Regis, dans le sud de l'Angleterre. Avec eux, elle a appris à chercher et à nettoyer les fossiles. Elle est si douée qu'elle est devenue une des plus grandes paléontologues de son époque ! “C'est quoi la vie, en fait ?” Grâce et les Petits Curieux de sciences ont rencontré la scientifique Marie-Béatrice Forel. Cette micropaléontologue étudie au Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle des fossiles de moins d'un millimètre, qui ont plusieurs centaines de millions d'années. Elle leur a parlé de son métier et raconté l'histoire de la vie, des cellules uniques aux organismes pluricellulaires, comme les dinosaures… ou les hommes. Et c'est absolument passionnant ! “Curieux de sciences” est une aventure sonore qui entraîne les enfants dans l'univers fascinant de la science en stimulant l'imaginaire tout en dévoilant la rigueur et les surprises qui accompagnent les découvertes scientifiques.

Before Darwin and evolution, there was Mary Anning and her mysterious fossils. Mary was a working class girl on the Jurassic Coast of England, and she loved to hunt for fossils on the beach. But when her dad died unexpectedly, Mary was forced to turn her hobby into a job. Her discoveries were so big they called theories about life on earth and even God into question. On this episode, the story of the mother of paleontology: Mary Anning. A Sony Music Entertainment and Somethin' Else production.

In the 1800's, when paleontology was a new science, young Mary Anning collected fossils on the beach. She made some remarkable discoveries but was not given credit for her finds. Now, all the years later, she is recognized for the work she did.
Die Anfänge der Paläontologie liegen noch nicht weit zurück. Erst vor 200 Jahren begann man in Fossilien Beweisstücke für das Aussterben von Tierarten zu sehen. Einen großen Beitrag zu den revolutionären Erkenntnissen ihrer Zeit leistete die Engländerin Mary Anning, der der Fossilienhandel auch das Überleben sicherte.
