ACTIVITY SHEET PALAEONTOLOGISTS Scientists who specialize in uncovering the earth's past through studying fossils and rock layers are called palaeontologists. Some go to university, while others have their interest sparked at an early age. One such person was an 11 year old English girl, Mary Anning, who discovered an Ichthyosaur fossil, a large sea-living creature, in 1810. As you can imagine her interest became a passion and she made many more discoveries. She is commemorated in a church stained glass window. New Zealand has many famous palaeontologists, people such as: Joan Wiffen, James Allen Thompson, Alexander McKay, Sir Charles Fleming and Julius von Haast. Research one of these, or call your local university or museum to find out about one of the palaeontologists there. Set out your information as below or use your own headings (Do not use this sheet, but make your own). Picture or photograph. Name of the scientist. Born? Family? Anyone else famous in family? How they became a palaeontologist. Picture or photograph. One famous discovery. Include the how, when where and who was involved. Sketch or copy image. Tools of a palaeontologist. Describe the materials and the methods used to get the fossils out. 28 Auckland Museum Activity Sheet
