2019 T. Rex Fossil – Tyrannosaurus Rex

Why the stamp was issued: To commemorate one of the most famous dinosaurs in history – the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
About the stamp design: Pictures fossilized Tyrannosaurus Rex by paleoartist and scientist Julius T. Csotonyi.
First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony was held at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.
About the Tyrannosaurus Rex set: Includes four stamp designs issued just in time for the opening of the new T. rex exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Each design pictures artwork by Julius T. Csotonyi. The stamps showcase a hatchling, juvenile, adult, and fossilized T. rex, showing the entire life cycle of these massive creatures.
History the stamp represents: Of all the dinosaur fossils discovered throughout history, Tyrannosaurus rex is, without a doubt, the most famous species. Since the first specimen was found back in 1900, Tyrannosaurus rex has become the unofficial ambassador of dinosaur research worldwide.
What is it about Tyrannosaurus rex that makes it so interesting? Is it the prehistoric carnivore’s huge size? Its’ threatening, toothy grin? Or maybe the fact that we still do not know a lot about the “tyrant king lizard.” That mystery keeps paleontologists busy in the field and everyone else visiting the world’s natural history museums. And each time a new Tyrannosaurus rex exhibit opens, even more people flock to these museums.
When you think about it, Tyrannosaurus rex is likely the reason dinosaurs have become so popular. After all, no dinosaur book, movie, or TV show is complete without at least one appearance from T. rex. Jurassic Park and The Land Before Time are just two of many franchises that depend on Tyrannosaurus rex to keep audeicnes hooked on their dinosaur films.
Thanks to all the attention brought by T. rex, dinosaur research is sure to keep making new discoveries for years to come.
