News from Lyme Regis, 17 January 1831: 'Miss Anning has again made a discovery of a grand fossil animal ... Geologists are now very numerous: perhaps much more than at any former period'. Then at the height of her fame, #MaryAnning and her discoveries attracted droves of fossil collectors to Lyme.

What a superb day yesterday. As part of @originalgcg.bsky.social annual seminar, I went walking in the footprints of giants - mainly Iguanadonts. Between Pett Level beach & Fairlight Cove, I observed dinosaur trackways, tail marks, bone beds, fossil wood and ripples ⚒️🪨🦕 @derbyuni.bsky.social
