Extinct species, not extinct stamps

A scope defined by a precise chronological boundary

This category covers stamps depicting species that vanished before the appearance of writing, a period the site places between 65 million years ago and 3000-4000 BC — a range wide enough to include both dinosaurs and more recent species that coexisted with early humans, sometimes traced in cave art. With 89 items, this is one of the narrowest sections within the animal theme, far from the volume seen under birds or mammals.

Beyond dinosaurs: mammoths, aurochs and less expected species

While dinosaurs dominate the imagery by far, the section goes beyond that single subject: it includes extinct mammals such as the mammoth or the aurochs, but also species from other zoological classes — a prehistoric bird like Gastornis, or a marine animal like Basilosaurus. This choice explains why some stamps could, in theory, belong to another section (birds, marine animals, reptiles): the criterion applied here isn't the animal class but the age of the species depicted.

One series, several classifications: the Rwandan example

A 2001 Rwandan miniature sheet of sixteen values illustrates this cross-classification well: its various panes appear alternately under "primitive reptiles", "dominant reptiles", "flying reptiles" and "prehistoric animals", depending on which sub-group of dinosaurs or fossil reptiles each pane depicts. This case isn't isolated: a 1991 Brazilian series is also listed under both "reptiles" and "prehistoric animals".

Issuers and formats

African administrations — Guinea, Togo, the Central African Republic, Guinea-Bissau, Niger, Mozambique — issued many series on this theme through the 2010s, mostly used and at modest prices. More recent European issues, such as those from Spain (2015) or Belgium (2015), carry higher prices, around €16 to €17 for a complete series. The collection mixes single stamps, short series and souvenir sheets, with issues going back to the 1970s (Republic of Congo, 1975).
