Cretaceous impact


Stato: Guinea

Anno: 1993

Notizie: In 1993 the Republic of Guinea issued an airmail souvenir sheet showing several dinosaurs against the background of a volcano and an incoming cosmic impactor. This may represent the giant impact at the end of the Cretaceous, which may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs pictured on the sheet include Diplodocus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Longisquama, Plateosaurus, Allosaurus, Brontosaurus, a juvenile Albertosaurus, Coelophysis, and Parasauralophus.
