Paleontological sites of Lebanon : ウィキペディア英語版 | Paleontological sites of Lebanon
The paleontological sites of Lebanon contain deposits of some of the best-preserved fossils in the world, and include some species found nowhere else. The most famous of these is the Lebanese lagerstätten of the Late Cretaceous age, which contain a well-preserved variety of different fossils. Some fossils date back to the Jurassic period, and younger fossils of mammals from a different site belong to the Miocene through the Pleistocene. The fossils found in Lebanon are displayed in natural history, geology and paleontology museums around the world. ==History== The earliest known account of Lebanese fossils is attributed to Herodotus.〔〔 The existence of fossil fishes in the Lebanon is referred to by Jean de Joinville. In his ''Histoire de Saint Louis'' he wrote that during the sojourn of King Louis IX of France at Sidon in 1253, just before his return home from the Seventh Crusade, a stone was brought him, European scientists became interested in Lebanese fossils in the 19th century.〔
