 Lyme Regis Coast
Where

These are the cliffs near Lyme Regis, England. This is where Mary discovered the ichthyosaurus fossil that made her famous. Look closely and you will see a man in a blue jacket at the foot of the cliffs. See how small he is compared to the height of the rock face. Mary would climb the rock wall to look for fossils. Would you be brave enough to climb all the way up there?
