Notes:
[1] On March 12th 2024, the Royal Mail issued 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:
- the article about the stamps set of the four pairs with reconstructions of prehistoric animals
- the article about Mary Anning and her fossils
[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.
[3] "Prehistoric animals" on stamps of Kyrgyzstan 2024, were created with support of the author of this website:
Kyrgyz Express Post expresses its appreciation for valuable consultative support in the preparation of this stamp issue to Michael Kogan, the author of the website www.paleophilatelie.eu, and Aizek Asanbekovich Bakirov, the acting director of the M. M. Adyshev Institute of Geology of the National Academy of Sciences of the Kyrgyz Republic.

[4] 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.
