both authors

Explanation:

To determine who would agree that amateurs (not formally taught) can impact a field, we analyze the checkmarks. The statements about Anning (who was self - educated, an amateur) having impacts (excavating fossils, self - educating to contribute, selling fossils for family which relates to her fossil work) are checked for both Text 1 and Text 2 in relevant rows. This implies both authors recognize Anning's (an amateur) contributions, so both would agree amateurs can impact a field.
