Each year, Lyme Regis is transformed into a carnival of fossils. Central to this festival is local hero Mary Anning and how she helped transform fossil hunting from a hobby, collecting curiosities into a journey of scientific discovery. By the time she died at the age of 47, Mary Anning was both famous and celebrated as the greatest fossilist the world ever knew. Mary was born in 1799 but at the age of ten her father died, leaving the family without income.
