9 July 6, 1959 Dear Betsy: I was delighted with your letter. Thank goodness you are a girl! There are too many paleontologists and other ologists already and what the world needs is more girls with the charm of ideas such as you have.
10 July 6, 1959 Dear Betsy: I was delighted with your letter. Thank goodness you are a girl! There are too many paleontologists and other ologists already and what the world needs is more girls with the charm of ideas such as you have. Since you have a pretty good knowledge of my books already, I can only say that if you read Beyond Adventure you ll get my life story. About the (?horses)! Why they disappeared is an unsolved mystery. They just did. No one knows why or can even give a good guess.

13 1972 MSc, University of Calgary Fossil turtles from the Campanian stage of Western North America Results of thesis never published, but Betsy s knowledge of, and contributions to, the palaeobiology of turtles extensive (although underappreciated). Six (~20%) of her 32 peer-reviewed publications deal with turtle palaeobiology. Boremys

31 The compleat palaeontologist Betsy Nicholls as the ideal archetype for her eponymous award. Setting the bar high. Betsy s research provides a wonderful model for the unbiased investigation of marine reptiles or of any other group of organisms. Robert Carroll, Paludicola 5 (4), page Her modus operandi an inspiration for all aspiring palaeontologists
32 Go out in the field and collect all the fossils that can be found, no matter how difficult the terrain or the excavation of specimens. NE BC
33 [Betsy] had this energetic, determined attitude. She really was a field scientist, always ready to go to the remotest places to push science forward. Makoto Manabe Sikkani Chief River

37 Compare with other specimens of the same and related taxa.
38 Evaluate the nature of their adaptation, and their evolutionary history.
39 Cooperate with colleagues, wherever they may be or whatever groups they may be particularly attached to Academic Press
40 Have fun, and spread the joy throughout your discipline.
41 While at the Tyrrell, Betsy discovered and described important Early-Middle Triassic marine reptile faunas from the Canadian Rockies, including some of the most primitive ichthyosaurs ever found

43 Recognition of her brilliance and resolve. Her unique combination of talents and human qualities brought her notoriety. Since 1976 Rolex has honoured extraordinary individuals who possess the courage and conviction to take on major challenges. Rolex Awards for Enterprise projects that deserve support for their capacity to protect the world s natural and cultural heritage. Received for her work on the marine reptiles from Wapiti Lake. Described nearly a dozen new taxa from the Lower and Middle Triassic of this area.
44
45 Betsy oversaw the excavation and description of the largest ichthyosaur (and likely marine reptile) ever found, which she named in her last publication Shonisaurus sikanniensis. That paper was completed very shortly before she passed away.
46 January 31, 1946 October 18, 2004
47 Career Milestones The first work on marine turtles of western Canada. Discovery of the earliest plesiosaur in North America. Comprehensive study of the marine reptiles of Manitoba and refinement of our understanding of the Western Interior Seaway. Identification and description of the first Triassic thecodont from western Canada, which is also the first description of a marine thecodont. Discovery of a giant ichthyosaur in BC.
48 Leading by being the first among equals. A no-nonsense approach to work. Step by step, don t waste time, just move ahead and get the job done.
49 A slender woman with a core of steel, a heart of gold and a radiant smile. Fueled by thick steaks, coffee, the occasional scotch and an incessant drive to discover the world that was. Inspired by those who had gone before; opera; the classics; and Shakespeare. Those chosen as the recipients of her eponymous award will be truly honoured by this association.
50 Elizabeth Laura (Betsy)Nicholls A collective appreciation of a singular woman. Those honoured by this award will have attained great heights.
