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.
