=== Eponyms ===
The only person who did name a species after Anning during her lifetime was the Swiss-American naturalist, [[Louis Agassiz]]. In the early 1840s, he named two fossil fish species after Anning—''[[Acrodus anningiae]]'', and ''Belonostomus anningiae'' (now ''[[Saurorhynchus anningiae]]'')—and another after her friend [[Elizabeth Philpot]]. Agassiz was grateful for the help the women had given him in examining fossil fish specimens during his visit to Lyme Regis in 1834.<ref name="Emling169" /> After Anning's death, other species, including the [[ostracod]] ''[[Cytherelloidea anningi]]'', and two genera, the [[Therapsida|therapsid]] reptile genus ''[[Anningia]]'', and the [[Bivalvia|bivalve]] [[Mollusca|mollusc]] genus ''[[Anningella]]'', were named in her honour.<ref name="Torrens1995" /><ref>{{citation |title=Encyclopedia of Paleontology |url=http://www.credoreference.com/entry/routpaleont/anning_mary |year=1999 |contribution=Anning, Mary |format=CREDO subscription required}}</ref> In 2012, the plesiosaur genus ''[[Anningasaura]]'' was named after Anning<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Vincent |first1=P. |last2=Benson |first2=R.
