the place where Paleontology and Paleoanthropology meets Philately
Paleophilatelie.eu catalog is about the representation of
Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Philately
This catalog shows images
and provides information about thousands of philatelic items related to
Paleontology and
Paleoanthropology
from almost 200 countries and territories sorted by
country and
date of issue.
The catalogue has two interfaces:
“flat” and
“frames”.
The catalog also contains many hundreds of
pages describing individual stamp issues and
articles related to the
"Paleophilatelie" topics, as well as many examples of
philatelic exhibits.
If you are new here, please scroll down to read what to
expect here and how to use it.
Articles
What is included here?
What is not included here?
- Any kind of unofficial stamp including items that resemble a postage stamp, but were not issued by a postal authority to serve as postage.
- Stamps depicting dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals from cartoons (e.g., Flintstones, Disney, etc.), as objects of humor, as Children’s artwork, or as illustrations from fiction (e.g., works of Jules Verne) are also not shown in these catalogs.
How it works ?
-
Chronology:
all Paleontology and Paleoanthropology stamps and on some pages other philatelic objects such as postmarks
and postal stationary issued that year are shown in descending chronological order.
Click on the thumbnail to see either a larger image or a description page for that item (if available).
Lists of the most recent stamps and announcement of feature issues are shown on the current year page and updated frequently.
Click on the country name to be redirected to the country page. -
Country:
all Paleontology and Paleoanthropology stamps and other philatelic objects such as postmarks
and postal stationary issued by the country are shown by date of their issues.
Click on the thumbnail to see either a larger image or a description page for that item (if available). Click on a year to be redirected to the year page.
Note: The Chronology Catalog was designed first. Later, the Country Catalog was added. During the work on the country-based pages, additional stamps were discovered, mostly from the “Other stamps to consider” themes. Both catalogs are routinely updated at present.
All pages have an integrated Google-Translate toolbar, on the top of the page which allows you to read it in your language.
