恐龍

這一套郵票是1993年紐西蘭郵局配合那年好萊塢巨片「侏羅記公園」發行的,色彩繽紛栩栩如生的恐龍郵票,很讚喔!我最喜歡那小全張,那隻恐龍好像是伸出頭來在郵票的框框裡吼叫,好有趣喔。

首頁封右下角的「3」是紐西蘭的電視台,意思就是「第三台」啦!當年紐西蘭的電視頻道只有三台,1、2、3,就是這樣取名字的,第三台晚上常播映一些下片的美國電影,有時第三台才剛播映這部片子,幾個月後換第二台,美國電影就這樣可以免費看上好幾次,看到你覺得膩了為止!


●郵票簡介原文
Dinosaurs
1 October 1993

For 165 million years dinosaurs ruled the earth with unparalleled strength and power. To date, some 500 types of dinosaur have been identified, but this is believed to be only a fraction of the species that actually existed. They came in all shapes and sizes (some were as small as chickens, while some were as tall as five-storey buildings) and they displayed a wide range of social behaviour patterns (some were gentle in nature and ate plant life, while others were violent and threatening, and ate those that ate the plant life!)

The name 'dinosaur' originates from a combination of two Greek words: 'deinos' meaning terrible and 'sauros' meaning lizard. It is these 'terrible lizards' - in particular those that once walked on New Zealand soil - that are the subject of this stamp issue.

‧45c Booklet stamp:
This stamp design illustrates a carnosaur about to attack a sauropod.

‧45c Sauropod:
A giant herbivore that used its long giraffe-like neck to graze on lush tree top vegetation. Apatosaurus (also called brontosaurus) and diplodocus are among the best known of this group of dinosaur.

‧80c Pterosaur:
The pterosaurs were the first animals (other than insects) to take to the air and fly. Their wings were large membranes of skin which measured four metres across. The pterosaurs diet consisted of fish and other marine life.

‧$1.00 Ankylosaur:
Up to three metres long and weighing around half a tonne, the herbivorous ankylosaur was well protected from predators with a heavy bone armour which plated its back and head.

‧$1.20 Mauisaurus:
Mauisaurus was a plesiosaur - a marine reptile that swum with its head above the water and fed on fish and other prey. Measuring nine metres long, mauisaurus was the largest plesiosaur to be found in New Zealand waters.

‧$1.50 Carnosaur:
The large meat-eating carnosaur was among the most terrifying of all dinosaurs. It walked on its hind legs, had powerful clawed hands and may have been capable of speeds of up to 40 or 50 kilometres per hour!

‧$1.50 Miniature Sheet:
This colourful miniature sheet incorporates the $1.50 stamp from the issue and depicts a lively scene showing a conflict between two carnosaurs and a pair of hypsilophodonts.

‧$1.50 Exhibition Miniature Sheet:
Between 1-10 October 1993 stamp collectors, postal administrations and exhibitors flocked to Thailand to attend Bangkok '93 World Philatelic Exhibition. New Zealand Post produced an overprinted 1993 Dinosaur miniature sheet to commemorate the event.
Issued 1 October 1993.
