15 December 1829: in reply to an enquiry sent via their mutual friend Charlotte Murchison, Mary Anning provides Charles Lyell with information about the rate of erosion of Church Cliffs at Lyme Regis which he uses in his 1830 book, 'Principles of Geology', acknowledging Anning as his source.

[footnote:] This ground was measured by Dr, Carpenter of Lyme, and again in 1829, as I am informed, by Miss Mary Anning of Lyme, well known by her discoveries in fossil remains.' ; bottom left: extract of a letter of 15 December 1829 from Anning to Lyell with the information used in his 'Principles': 'I have made enquires of Dr: Carpenter he says that in the year 1800 he paced the Church Cliffs from a certain hedge and that (’they’ deleted) it was thirty paces to the edge of the Cliff (which is about 100 feet perpendicular height) it is fallen away from that hedge so as to leave about one yard between edge hedge and the edge of the Cliff having lost 29 yards in as many years.'

it appears plagiorizer William Toosey tries his shit again, that's my Propalorchestes in his "Journey through the Cenozoic". I suspect this is just the tip of it. Many of these are just other people's work with a new texture slapped on top. Lots of JRC art here.
