This stamp was included in a 2013 series of stamps on dinosaurs and illustrated by John Sibbick. But, as a pterosaur, the dimorpodon are related to dinosaurs
but are, in fact, one of the earliest reptiles (and invertebrates) to fly. The first British one was discovered by Mary Anning in Dorset in 1828.

I got a couple from these series. The illustrations are great. And I like the way they seem to escape from the rectangle of the stamp!
They would fit in my D-post.
It certainly looks like a dinosaur! My D stamp is here: https://envelope100.blogspot.com/2026/02/d-is-for-deporte-para-todos.html
It was a great set and that one is suitably unsettling.
My D is for Djibouti here

Nice how it's head bumps up out of the usual stamp shape! I remember when all my books had flying "dinosaurs." I'm rather surprised a stamp that new would call it a dinosaur.
