Mary Anning will be remembered as a paleontologist who paved the way for a completely new understanding of the history of the earth.
But then, disaster struck. The local beach that Mary depended on her whole life dried up; she only found old species that she had found before. Mary found it difficult to sell these old items.
What happened? What am I going to do for living?
.Soon, her mom passed away, her bank collapsed, and Mary was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 46. She carried on for two more years but found nothing.
