Edit to this article in the "Illness and Death" section: change the link on "Enalio-Saurians" from the misspelt "Eurapsyda" to the correct "Euryapsida." Although not a scientifically used term nowadays, the link to the correct article is less confusing and helps give context to Anning and her contemporaries' research.

To add this the Wikipedia entry for Mary Anning, under, “In fiction”: A lyrical, vivid, and profoundly moving portrait of Mary Anning is the historical novel, Curiosity: A Love Story by Joan Thomas, Toronto, Ontario, McClelland & Stewart, 2010.

Possibly add to “Sources”: Thomas, Joan (2010). Curiosity: A Love Story. McClelland & Stewart. ISBN 978-07710-8417-1 2604:3D09:A477:B000:E173:DD47:8486:DF35 (talk) 19:16, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: "In fiction" sections (lists and prose both) are covered by WP:IPC, which states Although some references may be plainly verified by primary sources, this does not demonstrate the significance of the reference. The book existing is not evidence that it is noteworthy for inclusion here. If you'd like this reconsidered, I recommend A) providing a secondary source describing why the reference is significant enough to be included in the article about Mary Anning, and B) providing prose that is written in a neutral voice, which lyrical, vivid, and profoundly moving portrait most certainly is not.
