On June 6the, 2012, on occasion of World Environment Day, the Post Authority of Turkey issued the Mini-Sheet with four stamps of prehistoric animals, three of them are dinosaurs and one depicted flying reptile - pterosaur, and introductory booklet with plastic, hologram stamp, inside.
Even though the plastic stamp is sold inside of a booklet it could be used for postal purpose as any other regular stamp, see and example below.
The dinosaur on the stamp is T-Rex - Tyrannosaurus Rex was the most terrifying carnivorous that ever lived. It had 20 cm teeth. It was 14 meter long and could reach 5-6 meters when erect. It lived in North America and China 67 millions years ago.
