There will be a total of 16 stamps available, the U.S. Postal Service said. 

"'The “Nation’s T. rex,' the young adult depicted on two of the stamps, was discovered on federal land in Montana and is one of the most studied and important specimens ever found," postal service officials said in a release earlier this week. 

The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History said the stamps were created by Julius Csotonyi. Csotonyi's work will also be featured in the new Fossil Hall at the museum which opens June 8.
