Stamp showing marine animal (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seal

I believe this is a double definition.

'stamp' is the first definition.
('seal' can be a synonym of 'stamp')

'marine animal' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'showing' is the link.

(Other definitions for seal that I've seen before include "Signet" , "Settle or decide - say fate" , "Bull or cow" , "Make tight" , "Fasten securely; aquatic mammal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
