the stamps set "The Age of the Dinosaurs" and eight
First-Day-of-Issue Postmarks for the stamps set
These stamps were carefully created in partnership with the Natural History Museum in London,
using scientists from no less than six different specializations of palaeontology.
The set includes four pairs of stamps with reconstructions of prehistoric animals
and the Mini-Sheet with four self-adhesive stamps show Mary Anning and some of
the most important fossils she unearthed along the Dorset coastline.
Three additional fossils are shown on the margin on the Mini-Sheet.
Since these stamps are very different, both thematically and artistically,
their descriptions on this website were split into two articles:
[2] The Mini-Sheet show fossils and reconstructions of
Cambrian animals and plants from "Chengjiang Fossil Site" which declared as
the UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012.

There is evidence of the existence of these long-haired heavyweights at around 100 locations in the valleys
of the Swiss plateau and Jura mountains.
They lived where the glaciers receded during the warmer periods of the Ice Age, giving way to a
grassy steppe – the ideal environment for mammoths.
One of the richest archaeological sites in Switzerland is Niederweningen (ZH),
home of the Mammoth Museum dedicated to the history of these giants.
