Two sauropod teeth from an Early Cretaceous (Neocomian) fluviodeltaic sandstone near Jezzine (Southern Lebanon) are the first nonavian dinosaur remains to be reported from Lebanon. Their distinctive character places them within Brachiosauridae. The sauropod teeth from Lebanon are a significant addition to the very scanty dinosaur record from the Levant, which hitherto consisted mainly of very poorly preserved and not easily identifiable specimens. The Basal Cretaceous Sandstone of Lebanon, thus, appears to be a potentially important source of fossil vertebrate material.
来自黎巴嫩南部杰津附近早白垩世（尼奥科姆阶）河控三角洲砂岩中的两颗蜥脚类恐龙牙齿，是黎巴嫩首次报道的非鸟类恐龙化石。其独特特征表明它们属于腕龙科。黎巴嫩的蜥脚类恐龙牙齿为黎凡特地区极为稀少的恐龙化石记录增添了重要内容，该地区此前的恐龙化石记录主要是保存很差且难以辨认的标本。因此，黎巴嫩的早白垩世砂岩似乎是脊椎动物化石材料的一个潜在重要来源。
