ARCHEOLOGY Mary Anning (Reino Unido, 1799-1847)

The first palentologist woman to correctly identify the skeleton of an ichthyosaurian, marine reptile of the age of Jurasic. She found the two first skeletons of plesiosaurs and the first one of pterosaur outside Germany. She made important contributions to the paleontology and the geology in those days when mostly still thought that any specie had been extinted. However, she suffered the gender gap of those days: she was never admitted by the Geological Society of London and she lived the reject of many male paleotologists, who during years took her discoverments and studies without her permission.
