ALT Two pairs of two people are standing facing the camera. To the left is a lady wearing a dark coloured dress with a pattern of small flowers. Around her neck is a rainbow lanyard. Next to her is a man with white hair and a beard wearing a mustard-coloured sweater and blue jeans. To the right is a man with white hair wearing a mid-blue jacket over a pale coloured shirt and pale blue jumper. Next to him is a man hearing a pale green jacket and pale blue shirt. Between the pairs of people is a table and on the table is a perspex box containing a statue maquette of the Mary Anning statue, the full size version of which is on the seafront at Lyme Regis in Dorset. The people are standing in front of a cream background and on the wall is a poster describing the story of Mary Anning.
ALT A man is facing an audience of people standing behind a lectern giving a presentation. Above the man is a large screen showing a presentation slide with a picture of Mary Anning and a drawing of two extinct marine reptiles. One of the extinct reptiles has a long jaw with many long teeth similar in appearance to a modern day crocodile. The other extinct reptile has a very long thin neck and two front flippers and its neck is being bitten by the other reptile.
