    Ammonite
    (UMT Lahore, 2023-08) Rabia Wali
    I have based my thesis final project inspired by an English paleontologist Mary Anning, who was a fossil collection enthusiast and dealer. Mary Anning was known for her extraordinary finds related to Jurassic marine fossils. Her contributions were overlooked because the science professions were still very male dominated and she was never given any credits for her finds. She struggled financially because she was unable to join the Geological Society of London as a woman. This led to her never being able to succeed in her respective profession. This entire project is inspired by Mary Anning's findings and discoveries of various different ammonite fossils of Nautilidae family. Without her contribution to the field of paleontology we would have never been able to discover the rare and extinct nautilus shells and ammonite fossils. The chambered nautiluses are a larger species of cephalopod which are also referred as a "living fossil" and has been glorified in many forms of art and history such as poetry, paintings, math, and jewelry. They have even inspired to make water or wine goblets during the ancient times. These animals have been around for more than 500 million years and the evidence suggests that they have been around for much longer than the dinosaurs themselves.
