Sally Hollingworth

Amateur Paleontologist and Stargazer
United Kingdom

An avid collector since childhood, Sally Hollingworth enjoyed foraging and acquiring “treasures,” often filling her sister’s pram with her findings. Later in life, Sally set her sights further. As her interest in stargazing grew, she joined the Cotswold Astronomical Society as a member and soon found herself volunteering at events and festivals. In 2015, Sally and Neville met at the local science festival under the skeleton of Gorgosaurus. Their mutual interest in science and collecting lead to a fossil hunting trip together in 2016, where they discovered a fossil vertebra—but only one half. Neville later returned to the site to look for the other half and suggested a pub meeting to see if the two halves fit–and they did. The Hollingworths married in 2017, and they continue to go on adventures together.

Good with numbers and remarkably organized, Sally works in the accounts administration team at Avtar Construction Ltd. in Swindon.
