David Mantell
David Norman Mantell (22 July 1934 – 26 January 2017) was an English cricketer. Mantell was a right-handed batsman who fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was born at Acton, Middlesex. Mantell made his first-class debut for Sussex against Cambridge University in 1954. He made 25 further first-class appearances for the county, the last of which came against Essex in the 1958 County Championship. In his 26 first-class matches for Sussex, he scored a total of 150 runs at an average of 6.00, with a high score of 34. Behind the stumps he took 28 catches and made 2 stumpings. Mantell found his opportunities limited, and when the regular Sussex wicketkeeper Rupert Webb announced he would retire from full-time cricket at the end of the 1958 season, Sussex encouraged Jim Parks, a far better batsman than Mantell, to take up wicketkeeping; that led Mantell to leave the county at the end of the 1958 season. He died on 26 January 2017 at the age of 82. References External linksDav ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mary Ann Mantell
Mary Ann Mantell ('' née'' Woodhouse; 9 April 1795 – 20 October 1869) was a British fossil collector and the wife of the British paleontologist Gideon Mantell. She is credited – although this is disputed – with the discovery of the first fossils of ''Iguanodon'' and provided several pen and ink sketches of the fossils for her husband's scientific description of the ''Iguanodon''. ''Iguanodon'' discovery Per the Mantells' account, it was Mary Ann who discovered the fossils which were later identified as belonging to Iguanodon; Gideon Mantell "at first endorsed but recanted" this story after their divorce; "doubt has been poured on the somewhat romanticized claim both on her involvement and the date ... with the suggestion that the Mantells probably bought the first teeth off local quarrymen." Per the Mantells' original story, in 1822, while Mary Ann Mantell was accompanying her husband in Sussex as he was visiting a patient, she discovered tooth-shaped fossils on the side o ...

Mantell Incident
On January 7, 1948, 25-year-old Captain Thomas F. Mantell, a Kentucky Air National Guard pilot, died in the crash of his P-51 Mustang fighter plane near Franklin, Kentucky, United States, after being sent in pursuit of an unidentified flying object (UFO). The event was among the most publicized early UFO incidents. Later investigation by the United States Air Force's Project Blue Book indicated that Mantell may have died chasing a Skyhook balloon, which in 1948 was a top-secret project that he would not have known about.Ruppelt, p. 56. Mantell pursued the object in a steep climb and disregarded suggestions to level his altitude. At high altitude he blacked out from a lack of oxygen; his plane went into a downward spiral and crashed. In 1956, Air Force Captain Edward J. Ruppelt (the first head of Project Blue Book) wrote that the Mantell crash was one of three "classic" UFO cases in 1948 that would help to define the UFO phenomenon in the public mind, and would help convince some ...
