Fossils, Pterosaurs, and Pioneering Paleontologists
dDid she sell seashells by the seashore? Probably not, but she did sell fossils. This week, Rosie takes a look at the life and legacy of pioneering paleontologist Mary Anning, who made a name for herself in the male-dominated geological spaces of the early 19th century through her incredible discoveries of Jurassic-age fossils. In our SNP, Ash discusses a new study describing how the 'stuff' we create now outweighs life on Earth.
