Abstract
- When English marine Reptiles crossed the Channel. Mary Anning and Georges Cuvier, two actors of the discovery and study of Ichthyosaurs and Plesiosaurs. From 1800 to 1824, Georges Cuvier succeeded in obtaining a great deal of informations, as well as documents, drawings, casts and original fossils related to marine Reptiles (Ichthyosaurs and Plesiosaurs) from the Lower Jurassic (Lias) of Great Britain. He was completely informed about the discoveries made by Mary Anning. A great number of documents in the archives of the Museum national d’histoire naturelle in Paris show the importance and the quality of the scientific links that existed between France and Great Britain, in spite of the political vicissitudes between the two nations.
