The UK's Royal Mint has revealed the new 50-pence coins it has struck to celebrate Victorian fossil hunter Mary Arming. But eagle-eyed pedants (of whom we know a few) have spotted a slight error. One coin marks the discovery of the first ichthyosaur, an extinct marine reptile that looked rather like a modern dolphin. It says "Temnodon tosaurus, Mary Anning 1811" and includes a picture of a fossilised skull. But, a colleague points out that, according to the Natural History Museum in London, she didn't actually discover this bit of the ichthyosaur. Instead it was her brother Joseph who found it in 1810. Mary dug up parts of the neck in 1811, the museum's website says.
