New for 2010 and Ideal for Science Week
Mary Anning was one of the greatest fossil hunters ever known. At the age of 11 she shocked the scientific world with an amazing fossil find and went on to discover some of the most significant geological finds of all time. This is her dramatic, real-life story: as a little girl, Mary found an enormous fossil of a sea creature no one had ever seen before. What was it? Our costumed actress as Mary Anning, will welcome the children to the fashionable Regency seaside resort of Lyme Regis.

Using the children as her actors, with set, costume, props and genuine Lyme Regis fossils, they will re-enact her dramatic rags to riches story. The children will help Mary to identify, piece together and name the massive Jurassic sea creature she found in the rocks and suggest a name for the creature, eventually called ‘Ichthyosaurus’.
