Postage stamps from
around the world and from many countries have honored dinosaurs. The United States
has had dinosaurs on their stamps three times. The first time was in 1970. The
second occurred in 1989. And the third time was in 1998. The latest series was
done by the very talented artist James Gurney who does the delightful Dinotopia
series.
These dinosaurs are all from North America and in the purview of the Realm of
the Rattlesnake. Pictures of any of these dinosaurs are from sources other than
Mr. Gurney except for the postage stamps above which were purchased from the U.S.Postal
Service.
