Dinosaur ATM stamps of Portugal In November 1999 Post Authority of Portugal introduce new set of machine (ATM) stamps with title "Dinosaurs of Portugal" (Dinossurios em Portugal). Four different stamp-template depicted some dinosaurs and some of their footprints. Fossilized remains of all dinosaurs depicted on the stamps as well as their footprints are found in Portugal. These dinosaur ATM stamps issued with 7 predefined values from PTE (Portuguese Escudo) 50 to PTE 350, by two vending machines: Amiel (first set - big and bold values) and SMD (the second set - smaller text). Similar stamps but in face value in two currencies: Escudo and Euro are printed in 2000. The rarest stamps are from 2002 with face value in Euro only, as it was on sale for two months only

Our member "Jaysee" favourite thematic link is Postbeeld It only has "Prehistoric animals" no Dinosaurs search text. The latest was 2014 "http://www.postbeeld.com/en/fsc/search&category=f2 I was also wondering if you belong to American Topical Assoc, and if so, how up-to-date they are with releases. The most dedicated thematic Philatelists, post their passions on EXPONET From a quick browse I could see nothing on Paleontology, but you may need a deeper investigation. An example of geology.... www.exponet.info/exhibit.php?exhibit_ID=1009&lng=EN

The latest was 2014 "http://www.postbeeld.com/en/fsc/search&category=f2 well, postbeeld is stamp store, they have many stamps but far away to be complete. Moreover, they don't list feature issues. Due the fact I collect not only stamp, but FDC and circulated covers too, I try to know about stamp issues in advance to able to find either swap partner or stamp dealer who can send me some covers on the day of stamp issue. I was also wondering if you belong to American Topical Assoc, and if so, how up-to-date they are with releases. No, I don't, but I think about to join the club. As far I know, there are no "Paleontology" related presentation on Exponet. Here you can see some exposition sent to me be several fellow collectors. If you know or have any other, please let me know. I'll be very glad to host some more Paleo-Philately stuff on my website

I was also wondering if you belong to American Topical Assoc, and if so, how up-to-date they are with releases. Well, since I joined them in January this year, they become updated I been told, most collectors who is interested in the topic are member of Biophilately Unit of ATA - I joined both clubs to see if its make sense. I also took over Associated Editor of Paleontology role at Biophilately magazine and keep the list of Paleontology related stamps updated. May be will write some article for them too. People who are not members of Biophilately Unit can see all new stamps on my website. There are several beautiful stamps of fossils and prehistoric animals already issued this year. Many more are expected. Three country: Canada, Cuba and Portugal are going to issue dinosaur stamps in May. More info is here

Congratulations on your assignment as Associate Editor!
For those interested, some of the Letters to the Editor in the March 2015 edition of American Philatelist are paleontology-related and the section includes images of some of Romania's dinosaur stamps.

Thanks. Personally, I disagree with the author of the letter and fully support Mr. Barry N. Floyd, the author of original article who wrote "As to be expected with this kind of public appeal, many countries have issued stamps featuring dinosaurs .... Sadly, however, a number of countries have produced dinosaur stamps quite unrelated to any fossil finds in their own territories. Furthermore, these stamps have been aimed at young susceptible collectors — the so-called “kid’s stuff.” Invariably produced in excess of the postal needs of the countries concerned, they often were not even made available to the general public. In this essay I have excluded speculative or rogue issues from countries such as the Central African Republic, Grenada, Guinea Bissau, the Republic of Guinea, Liberia, and St. Vincent." I also exclude such "stamps" from my collection and mark it by grey background on my site

In 1986, an expedition of Argentine Antarctic Institute to James Ross Island found remains of an unknown species of dinosaur. It is a genus of dinosaur ankylosaur represented by a single species, Oliveroi, who lived in the late Cretaceous period in what is now Antarctica. Teeth, part of the lower jaw, skull fragments, vertebrae and bones of limbs and feet, hind part of hip and tail, and numerous pieces of the Antarctopelta skeleton were found. All are shown on one single stamp:

Now and then while sorting through my random piles of stuff I'll come across dinosaur stamps and I often set some aside for scanning and showing here. Here are some stamps I've come across recently, a pair from Guinea-Bissau and a pair from Mali. But of these four stamps, only one shows a dinosaur, so I guess I can't offhandedly call these "dinosaur stamps". The Irish elk was a big brute of a thing, a foot taller than me at its shoulders and carrying the biggest antlers ever known on a deer / moose / etc. I was surprised to learn how recently these animals were still alive - less than 8,000 years ago they still roamed, scaring the bejabbers out of any human who came across their path, I'm sure (it would scare the bejabbers out of me, at least). The dimetrodon and edaphosaurus, two animals that look very much like reptiles and hence dinosaurs, are actually more closely related to mammals. They also lived in a different time, going extinct some 40-50 million years before the earliest dinosaurs appeared. Those big sails on their backs are thought to have been a way of helping to regulate their body temperatures. The triceratops is the only dinosaur to be seen here. They were by far the most common large dinosaur of their day - one estimate claims 5/6 of all large dinosaurs at the time were triceratops. Another surprising thing I learned was how relatively brief their time on earth was, showing up 68 million years ago and going extinct in the big dinosaur extinction event 66 million years ago. A bit of a curious typographical conceit on these stamps from Guinea-Bissau, with one hyphen after the "É" and another one before the "B". Ryan
