    Grown man here. I cried when i visited that gallery, so moved by the stories of Mary Anning and mixing in tears of joy over the fossils themselves.

    Outstanding video, Emma! One thing I enjoy about your presentation style is that you don't use "stop action" editing like so many other folks do, so it makes your information very easy to follow. I haven't had the opportunity to visit the NHM, but I know the curator of minerals and have been promised a grand tour when I do.

    I found 3 ribs outside of the boundaries of Berlin- Ichthyosaur State Park, in Nevada. APR 2017. We were on a winding dirt road in a tight canyon when I stepped out of the vehicle to "Enjoy nature" for a second. I noticed what looked like two broken ribs inside of a black rock matrix. a third was lying nearby.

    So cool, but i do have 1 question. How did they prep that fossil so well? Has it been prepared over the years better as technical expertise has evolved?

  • @EmGems

    @EmGems

    Жыл бұрын

    Mary Anning self taught herself the art of fossil prep and spent years on some specimens (so she was pretty good at it). But I'm not 100% sure if they haven't been re-prepped in recent years. I think not, but I'm sure curators have touched them up here and there to ensure their safety 😊 (I will ask this question for you if I ever get the chance to chat to the curators at the museum and find out!)

    “Her father and her brother helped”? No they did everything, while she stood around, did nothing and took all the credit. She was literate, that was her contribution. She receives to much credit.

    Her father died when she was 11. It was her literacy that helped propel their family business in selling fossils. You're just another incel mad about a woman getting credit for a "man's" job.
