Mary Anning and the Dinosaur Hunters

There is a reference to an historical judicial ruling that "a man could beat his wife with a stick no wider than the width of a thumb".

During a storm, two people are struck fatally by a bolt of lightning in undetailed fashion, but an infant being held by one of them survives. The ground at the edge of a cliff gives way under a man causing him to fall and injure himself. A landowner makes verbal threats to have farmworkers hanged for protesting on his property about their economic conditions.

There is mild bad language ('strumpet', 'arse'), as well as very mild terms ('God').

Unscrupulous men talk about 'bedding' a woman and how it will be 'sport' as they plan to seduce her in order to exploit her scientific expertise. The woman is barred entry to a scientific exhibition and is told to "go and solicit somewhere else".

In displays of historical sexism, a woman's scientific expertise is derided by a male establishment which refuses to admit her into its community. Discrimination, which is also directed at social class and religion, is not condoned by the work as a whole.

There is a reference to "dinosaur poo".

There is a small scorch mark on the face of a person who has been struck by lightning.

A woman in emotional turmoil drinks ale and passes out; she is later told about gossip that she has "taken to the bottle".

There are mild upsetting scenes centred on bereavement and illness, which includes references to a person taking opium to cope with the pain of a serious medical condition.
