The following galleries contain almost 7.500 images
of various philatelic items related to Paleontology and Paleoanthropology:
postage stamps, First Day Covers (FDC), postal stationeries,
postmarks and meter-frankings,
commercially used covers and postcards.
Introduction
The galleries present collections of images of philatelic items grouped by type and linked to
the topics of the website.
If visitors would like to see all philatelic items from the same issue together,
they can use the index page of the
index page of the “Description” articles.
There are currently more than 300 such articles, and new ones are added on a regular basis.
Each gallery category includes unused examples (shown on the left) and used examples (shown on the right) of
philatelic material related to both primary and associated topics of the website.
The galleries are designed not only for relaxed browsing, but also as practical tools for
building personal
topical lists and collections.
By slowly scrolling through the “Postage Stamps” gallery, visitors can easily identify and group together
stamps related to a specific subject, such as carnivorous dinosaurs, mammoths, or fossil birds.
This approach allows all relevant material to be viewed in one continuous sequence,
without being restricted by predefined categories.
The same exploratory method can be applied to other galleries.
By browsing these sections, visitors can discover and group items related to particular themes, species,
or geological periods.
In this way, the galleries encourage active exploration and support the creation of thematic collections
based on personal interests or research goals.
By avoiding rigid classifications, the gallery format promotes flexibility and discovery, making it equally
useful for collectors, exhibitors, researchers, and all visitors interested in exploring the wide range
of palaeontological subjects represented in philately.
