Stamps Portraying Paleontology

By the way, my favorite web site about Paleontology and its representation in Philately: "PaleoPhilatelie[.]Eu" is selected as site of the Month, May 2012, by The American Philatelic Society !

The GB World of Dinosaurs issue has been postponed until 2013.

Do you know why ?

3D dinosaur stamp sheet from South Africa issued in 2009 with 3D glasses

nice cover ! Thanks for sharing with us.

that is a stamp sheet / miniature sheet, not a first day cover.

do you have it for exchange ?

I had one and swapped for ships. no more available.

just in case you have other stamps, covers, ... depicted any kind of prehistoric animals, for example India 1951 FDC or fine used cocer with two Stegodons on it - I can offer you some German stamps with ships.

kug, for a complete set of those dino stamps would I need the 6 sheet singles and the mini sheet to have a complete set of the stamps?

Hi William,

as far I know there are two Mini shets 5 stamp each and three or four FDC.
