Ammonite Fossil Moroccan Silver Necklace N756

Mary Anning was a palaeontologist who lived in the early 1800s.  As a young child, she walked the shores of the wild coast of Lyme Regis in England, hunting fossils with her father.  She supported herself by collecting ammonites and selling them.  She was poor, uneducated, not very attractive by the standards of the time, and she was a loner. However, she made some remarkable discoveries which eventually led to her being admired by her male peers for her scientific knowledge. She worked with Charles Darwin on the Origin of Species.

This necklace is made of ammonites, and I’ve some silver pendants from Morocco because they have fossil like inscriptions and represent the medal she should have won, but never did;
