there has been little evidence or confirmed cases of dinosaurs in the Arabian Peninsula except for footprints in Yemen. a therapod discovered in Oman from the late Cretaceous period. and Saudi Arabia The first was of a series of vertebrae from the tail of a “Brontosaurus-like” sauropod called a titanosaur, the second, a few teeth from a theropod. The latter belonged to an abelisaurid – a bipedal carnivorous dinosaur some 20 feet long. A fragment of limb bone from the Upper Cretaceous Jordan is the first evidence of dinosaurs from this country. The fragment comes from the proximal portion of a tibia, possibly of an ornithopod, and was discovered in the shallow marine Phosphorite Unit of the Balqa Group Cretaceous. however the extreme raretiy of dinosaur fossils in the Arabian Peninsula does not mean that there is int any other fossils in the Arabian Peninsula
