This poster of Lyme Regis in Dorset shows the rich hunting ground that Mary Anning had at her disposal for fossil hunting. Lying under the sea 200 million years ago, the beaches and cliffs were rich in the fossilised remains of prehistoric sea creatures.
Kids can trace over the dotted lines on this ichthyosaurus, and then colour him in. What modern sea creature does the ichthyosaurus remind you of?
Did you know that the ichthyosaurus was discovered in Lyme Regis by Mary Anning in 1817? Why not let the kids have a go at drawing one and then learn a little about that remarkable lady...
Here's a poster showing the full version of the old tongue twister "She sells seashells" ... which was apparently based on Mary Anning, the fossil hunter.
