    Well you have to undestand their reasoning.

    “My dear fellow members, today we review the application of Mary Anning to become a member of our distinguished society. As usual, the devil’s advocate will start.”

    “Thank you, Sir. Mary Anning! On one hand, she’s a woman, and on the other… No wait, actually I rest my case.”

    “Thank you. Now the defense can move forward.”

    “No, sorry, she is a woman after all.”

    " Big no-no then. Huzzah, tradition prevails! To the smoking room, chaps."

  It’s far too late but:

  In 2012, the plesiosaur genus Anningasaura was named after Anning and the species Ichthyosaurus anningae was named after her in 2015.
