A very chaotic mixture of clumsily drawn species from very different periods.
The Iguanodon on stamp 34/10-1 seems based on Burian,
the Tyrannosaurus on 34/10-8 seems based on Zallinger.
The bird on the second stamp is probably Some of the other images also seem familiar, but searching my literature did not yield any results. I am certain I have seen the theropod on M.S. 34/10-10 SOMEWHERE, but I am unable to find it. This is also the only dinosaur for which the reconstruction is not outdated.
