Mary really put palentology on the map regarding Lyme Regis and that particular coastline. Of course she had problems with her work as this article says she was a woman in a field which was mostly done by men unfortunately. Mary i think was a woman of great character and intelligence and really did help us understand creatures which had lived millions of years before us humans. I would put Mary on the same level as Gideon Mantell the other Victorian fossil hunter who also discovered ancient fossils.
