Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Cerion is a genus of small to medium-sized tropical air-breathing land snails, terrestrial pulmonate gastropods in the family Cerionidae, sometimes known as the peanut snails. This is a highly diverse genus, with more than 600 described species. The genus is endemic to the Caribbean region. The name Cerion is based on the Greek word Kerion, signifying honeycomb, and is given to these shells because the form of the shell resembles that of a beehive; hence they were at once time known as beehive shells. The fossil record of Cerion extends to the early Miocene of Florida and possibly to the Upper Cretaceous of Montana, although records older than of Pleistocene age are very rare. The genus Cerion was extensively studied by the late Harvard Palaeontologist Stephen Jay Gould.
