BOZEMAN – The U.S. Postal Service has released two new postage stamps depicting a dinosaur whose fossil was discovered on federal land in Montana.
The “Bozeman
Daily Chronicle” reports that a Tyrannosaurus rex known as “The Nation T. rex”
is now part of four designs on a pane of 16 new forever stamps that show the
dinosaur in growth stages from infancy to adulthood.
Experts say
the fossil was found by a family camping near the Fort Peck Reservoir and has
been loaned to the Smithsonian Institution in the District of Columbia for the
next 50 years.
Officials
say the stamps were designed by art director Greg Breeding with original
artwork by Julius Csotonyi.
