Galleries of Paleontology and Paleoanthropology related stamps
These galleries features nearly 1,500 images of official postage stamps both directly and indirectly connected to Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, along with nearly 1,000 examples of circulated envelopes and postcards bearing these stamps.
These galleries are updated once a year, typically toward the end of the year. The most recent update was in October 2025.Definitions and Notes
A postage stamp is a government-authorized adhesive label affixed to a mailpiece
as definitive evidence of pre-paid postal fees.
These items are typically produced on specialized security paper and feature a national identifier,
a specific monetary denomination, and an adhesive gum or self-adhesive backing on the reverse.
Beyond covering standard transportation costs, postage stamps may also be utilized to pay for ancillary
services, such as registration, insurance, or certified delivery.
While primarily issued by national postal administrations, stamps remain legal tender for postal
services until they are officially demonetized or cancelled by a postmark.
