Conybeare

More strong highlights with runs from Captain Adam Conybeare, debutant Isaac Sweetland, and Prop George Inoke the Oaks put the pressure on in the second half.

Conybeare's presentation followed the resolution of a controversy over the legitimacy of one of the fossils.

Conybeare's presentation was made at the same meeting at which William Buckland described the dinosaur Megalosaurus and the combination created a sensation in scientific circles.

In 1839 Buckland, Conybeare, and Richard Owen visited Lyme together so that Anning could lead them all on a fossil-collecting excursion.

The greater social respectability of the established church, in which some of Anning's gentleman geologist customers such as Buckland, Conybeare, and Sedgwick were ordained clergy, was also a factor.
