On September 5th, 2011, the Post Authority of North Korea issued the set of three dinosaur stamps. These stamps were issued as a booklet and Mini-Sheet of two sets. Some more dinosaurs are depicted on the margin on the bottom side of the sheet. Similar products exist with imperforate stamps too.
Fossils of none of these dinosaurs have been unearthed in North Korea.
- Megalosaurus is a genus of large meat-eating theropod dinosaurs that lived during the Middle Jurassic in Southern England.
- Staurikosaurus is a genus of dinosaur from the Late Triassic of Brazil, found in the Santa Maria Formation of Paleorrota Geopark.
