The new #USPSTRexStamps depict the lifespan–from baby to fossil–of a T. rex. The remains of the “Nation’s T. rex” inspired the stamp art. A 1st Day of Issue Ceremony streams live at 11AM from the @smithsonian Nat'l Museum of Natural History @NMNH: s.si.edu/30U5vV2 ©USPS 
@smithsonian @NMNH Discovered by chance in Montana in 1988, the Nation’s T. rex was amazingly & perfectly preserved in action with its jaws around a hapless Triceratops. This so called “death pose” is on view at the National Museum of Natural History @NMNH in its newly opened #DeepTime fossil hall
@smithsonian @NMNH "There is a sense of balance and tension in this pose...In fact, the T. rex is decapitating the Triceratops" according to @NMNH curator Matthew Carrano. If you haven't had a chance to visit the new #DeepTime fossil hall, you can check it out online: s.si.edu/2WkRG3i
