- Authors
Burek, Cynthia
- Abstract
Emily Dix, the Coal Measures palaeobotanist, was born on 21 May 1904. She was one of four daughters in a family of five children brought up in Penclawdd – a South Welsh cockling port then surrounded by coal and copper smelting industries near Swansea. Emily was a bright and gregarious girl, gaining at the age of 18 the Central Welsh Board Higher Certificate in History, Botany and Geography with distinctions in history and botany. Her success was an indication of what was to come.
