English to Spanish: Mary Anning paleotologa para niños General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Poetry & Literature
Source text - English In a tiny, cramped house on the south coast of England, there lived a girl called Mary. Her house was so close to the sea that sometimes the storms would flood it.
The winds and storms that swept along the coast often revealed fossils in the cliffs along the shoreline. These are the remains of prehistoric plants or animals that died a long time ago.
Mary could not go to school because her family was too poor, but she taught herself to read and write. She studied geology to learn more about rocks, and anatomy to learn more about the skeletons of the prehistoric animals she found.
One day, she saw a strange shape jutting out of a rock. Mary took out her special little hammer and carefully chipped away at the rock. But by bit, she uncovered a thirty-foot-long skeleton. It had a long beak, but it wasn't a bird. Rows of sharp teeth, but it wasn't a shark. Flippers, but it wasn't a fish. And a long thin tail! It was the first ever discovery of that kind of dinosaur fossil, and she named it ichthyosaur, meaning fish-lizard.
At the time people believed that the Earth was only a few thousand years old. Mary's fossils helped prove that there had been life on our planet for hundreds of years.
Scientists from all over the world came to see Mary, the self-taught scientist who loved walking by the sea.

Paleontóloga
En una casa chiquita y apretada en la costa sur de Inglaterra vivía una niña llamada Mary. Su casa estaba muy cerca al mar y a veces se inundaba por las tormentas. Los fuertes vientos y las tormentas que pasaban por las costas, a menudo, exponían fósiles en los acantilados de la costa. Los fósiles son los restos de animales o plantas prehistóricas que murieron hace millones de años.
Por desgracia, Mary no podía ir a la escuela porque su familia era muy pobre, pero esto no la desanimó, ya que ella aprendió por sí misma como escribir y leer. Además, estudió geología para aprender más sobre las rocas y anatomía para saber más acerca de los esqueletos de los animales que encontró.
Un día, ella vio una roca con forma rara, Mary tomó su martillo pequeño (especial para picar) y con cuidado empezó a pegarle a la piedra, cachito por cachito. Ella descubrió un esqueleto de 9 metros de longitud, tenía un gran pico, pero no era un pájaro, tenía una fila de dientes afilados, pero no era un tiburón, ostentaba aletas, pero no era un pez, y poseía una cola enorme y delgada. Era el primer descubrimiento de ese tipo de fósil de dinosaurio
y Mary lo nombró Ictiosaurio, lo cual significa pez lagarto.
En ese tiempo, la gente creía que la Tierra tenía sólo unos miles de años de existencia. Los fósiles que descubrió Mary ayudaron a probar que ya había existido vida en el planeta desde hace miles de millones de años.
Científicos de todo el mundo fueron a ver a Mary, la científica que amaba caminar en la playa y quesse enseñó a sí misma.
