I've always known them to be these things.  |

They're Nabisco cereal premiums (Shreddies was one product in a line ........ I think Shredded Wheat was another). Nestle (  ) took over Nabisco some years back hence some confusion around these. |

According to Mike Frederick's "Dinosaur Collectibles" they were first made in the 1950s in a tan colour (not sure if they were ever re-issued).
There were 20 pieces, with the usual dinosaur suspects plus a few less ubiquitous critters such as Paleotherium, Nothosaurus and Sphenacodon.
The books says that they're worth $20-40 each.
Very nice figures, but must admit that I've only seen them in that book and never on e-bay.
