Syrian Molluscan Fossils, Chiefly From the Range of Mount Lebanon

“Syrian Molluscan Fossils, Chiefly From the Range of Mount Lebanon” presents a detailed exploration of fossil mollusks discovered in the Syrian region, with a particular focus on specimens found in the Mount Lebanon range. The book meticulously catalogs and describes various species from the Cretaceous period, including the Turonian and Cenomanian epochs.

Authored by Charles Edward Hamlin, this study delves into the morphology, classification, and geological context of these ancient organisms. Key features such as the columella, suture, umbilicus, and whorl are examined to differentiate between species and genera, including Turritella and Astarte. References to prominent figures like d'Orbigny and Coquand highlight the work's place within the broader field of paleontology. The book offers valuable insights into the paleogeography and evolutionary history of the region during the Mesozoic Era.
