Royal Mail is releasing a set of stamps,illustrated by artist, Joshua Dunlop, celebrating the pioneering scientist Mary Anning and three of the fossils she unearthed along the Dorset coastline, while another eight stamps will feature a range of dinosaurs, pterosaurs and marine reptiles!

The stamps are available to pre-order from today on the Royal Mail’s website.
