Notes:  [1] Booklet of 12 self adhesive stamps "Works of Nature". One of the stamps "'Helminthoides Flysch" Helminthe are parasitic worms . The term helminth does not correspond to a specific zoological category. "Helminthoides" or '"helminthoid" refers to a category of deep sea trace fossils with a characteristic tight meandering pattern. Traces of this sort are now placed in the several different ichnogenera including Nereites, Helmthinopsis, Helminthoida, etc. "Flysch" refers to a kind of sedimentary rock succession deposited in deeper water settings adjacent to a rising mountain system. So, 'Helminthoides Flysch' or 'Helminthoid Flysch' is a term for flysch deposits that contain (in certain beds) a specific assemblage of deep water trace fossils. Notes: [PP1]

At least one of these stamps can be consider as fossil fund place. The rock
formation at Ma Shi Chau
contains a variety of fossils such as crinoids, brachipods, pteropods
and corals. From these fossils, geologists have determined that the
rock layers formed during the Permian peri od, about 270 million years
before present. More info

[A2] Charles Dawrin depicted on stamp of Souvenir Sheet from set "Famous universities and alumni" [A3] On April 24th post of Iceland issued a stamp "Eggert Olafsson 250th Anniversary" Eggert Ólafsson (1726-1768) was a poet, a writer and a naturalist from Svefneyjar islands in the northwest of Iceland. He was one of the first advocates of the Enlightenment in Iceland.  
Eggert studied natural
sciences and various other subjects at the University of Copenhagen. He
was a staunch nationalist and his writings, especially his poetry, burn
with patriotic fervour. Eggert is best known for his book on Iceland which he co-wrote with Bjarni Pálsson, one of his schoolmates in Copenhagen. This great two-volume work Reise igiennem Island (1772; Travels in Iceland), issued with support of Danish government four years after death Eggert Olafsson, of records a scientific and cultural survey he carried out in 1752–57, gives a comprehensive description of the country and its people and also reported fossilized leaves of 'birch, rowan, and willow … and many most similar to oaks' from the Surtarbrandsgil locality, Northwest Iceland. One illustration of the book depicted on top-right corner of the stamp and shows three minerals: a- left) Gypsum, b-right) Zeolite. The third one c-middle top is Filegrans - steen (not clear on this moment, what kind of stone it is ), perhaps with some fossils of marine shells on it. The following stamps looks like real, but they are not.

Notes: [CA1] The postmark shows " Lindwurmbrunnen von Klagenfurt " 
Legend has it that Klagenfurt
was founded after a couple of brave
men had slain the abominable "Lindwurm", a winged dragon in the moors
adjoining the lake, the staple diet of which is said to have been
virgins, but which did not spurn the fat bull on a chain that the men
had mounted on a strong tower. The feat is commemorated by a grandiose
9-ton Renaissance monument in the city centre. Although it represents a
dragon, it can be regarded as the first palaeontological reconstruction.
The head of the statue is modeled on
the skull of
woolly rhinoceros
: In 1335 the cranium of a wooly rhinoceros from the ice-age
was found in a gravel pit near Klagenfurt. It was instantly interpreted
as the skull of a dragon or Lindwurm. This fossil, which is still at
exhibition at the Landesmuseum für Kärnten, served as a model for the
head of the Lindwurm. Legend: [FDC] - Post Marks used on FDC of official stamp [PM] - Permanent postmark: available for a long period of time [Sp] - Special postmark: issued for special event and was available for short period of time [N] - new design of early introduced postmarks
