HELP Plz Read a text about Mary Anning.
When Mary Anning's father died in 1810, she and her family were left in poverty. To help
make ends meet, eleven-year-old Mary and her younger brother Joseph sold shells,
rocks, and bones to tourists. They found these by combing the beach and cliffs of their
English coastal town, Lyme Regis, and carefully excavating what they found. The children
had learned these skills from their father, an avid fossil hunter. While Joseph eventually
went into the upholstery business, Mary developed a passion for fossil hunting. She
lacked formal education, so she taught herself geology, paleontology, anatomy, and
scientific illustration. Ultimately, she recovered some of the most important dinosaur
specimens in the field of natural history, including an intact skeleton of a Plesiosaurus.
