Stone Girl, Bone Girl: The Story of Mary Anning

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Sheila Moxley. This freely fictionalized account tells about the girl who was responsible for the excavation of a fossilized ichthyosaur from a seaside location in England in the early 1800s. A short note adds that during her lifetime, Anning made a number of other significant fossil discoveries. The illustrations, in rich shades of blue, blue-green, and purple, feature some interesting compositions. Unfortunately, no sources are provided.
