way to learn device & partitions on inserted USB-drive?

when I insert a USB-drive, is there a way to learn the device and mountable partitions on it?

something like

 dmesg | tail 

only shows the device (/dev/sdb) which leave you guessing at the partition.

cat /proc/partitions

Works on many Linux systems and uses only cat.
