Mary Anning, born in Lyme Regis in 1799, made groundbreaking fossil discoveries along the Dorset coast, including the first ichthyosaur skeleton to be recognised by the scientific community in 1811-12 and the first complete plesiosaur skeleton in 1823, fundamentally shaping the science of palaeontology. More recently, Bournemouth University has produced graduates who have won BAFTA and Academy Awards for visual effects and animation, placing the area firmly on the global creative technology map.
