"Dinosaurs are cool",and "Dinosaurs are dead" is what I say about dinosaurs..

This is a Triceratops (try-SAIR-ah-tops), or what I call a three horn. Triceratops means "three-horned face" and refers to the three extremely large and menacing horns on its face. It had one short horn over its snout, and two long horns above the eye sockets. Triceratops roamed the open plains for food and probably used its horns to push over tall trees to get to the delicate top branches. It was the largest of the ceratopsians, growing to twenty-nine feet long and weighing up to twelve tons. This plant-eater also had a huge skull measuring seven feet long. Triceratops lived towards the end of the Cretaceous time period and was one of the last dinosaurs to suffer extinction. It was found in Canada and the United States.

This is a brontosaurus, or what I like to call a long neck. Apatosaurus (ah-PAT-oh-sawr-us) You may recognize the Apatosaursus (deceptive lizard) as a dinosaur we once called Brontosaurus. Since the two dinosaurs were proven to be identical, the name was changed to the first names used - Apatosaursus. Apatosaurus lived in the late Jurassic period and grazed in herds, eating plants and leaves. This sauropod grew to weigh over 30 tons and measured up to 70 feet long! If it was attacked, the Apatosaurus could rear up on its hind legs and use its long tail as a whip.

Tyrannosaurus rex (tie-RAN-oh-sawr-us) or what I like to call sharp tooth. Tyrannosaurus means "tyrant lizard" because of its immense size and evil teeth and claws. This meat-eater grew up to be forty-six feet long, eighteen feet tall, and weighed six tons. It also had a huge head that measured four feet in length. In its jaws were teeth six inches long! Tyrannosaurus rex was one of the most powerful carnivores ever to walk the planet. Its very small forearms probably were used to help the animal push off the ground to stand up. Tyrannosaurus rex lived during the end of the Cretaceous time period and was found in Western Canada and the Western United States.

Aren't these stamps cool? I really like them.
