episode Mary Anning: The Fossil Hunter Who Changed What We Thought We Knew cover

Description

In 1811, a 12-year-old girl uncovered a fossil that would change everything. Her discoveries challenged science, defied religious belief, and laid the foundation for paleontology — all while the scientific world ignored her name. This is the story of Mary Anning, the working-class fossil hunter who cracked open Earth's ancient secrets with nothing but grit, intellect, and a hammer. Forgotten for generations, her legacy still echoes through museums, textbooks — and the cliffs she once called home.
