- One day while digging up more shells at the beach, her brother found a huge fossil which at the time he thought was a bone from a crocodile’s body. Mary thought otherwise and hired laborers to dig at the beach. Her instinct paid off, Mary managed to unearth the first complete fossil of an Ichthyosaur.
