A pre-historic dimension was added to stamp collecting when the Postal Service issued a block of four Dinosaur stamps. They were issued on October 1st, to coincide with the beginning of National Stamp Collecting Month.
On U.S. #2425, the gentle vegetarian brontosaurus, meaning thunder lizard, was named for its gigantic size.
