Canada First Day Cover  10-01-1993 "Prehistoric Life in Canada, The Age of Dinosaurs"

It seems people everywhere are re-discovering a fascination with the "Age of Reptiles", a period in which the dinosaur was the dominant land creature.

Canada Post Corporation is contributing to these phenomena with its issue of four stamps featuring three dinosaurs and one marine reptile to launch Stamp Month on October 1, 1993.

The dinosaurs had 165 million years of domination of the earth from approximately 230 million to 65 million years ago.
