Umm al-Rua’us Formation, Saudi Arabia - Abbass (1972) : Ash Sharqiyah - ? 11298 About 180 km from Riyadh to Dammam, i.e. 40 miles west of Quseibi Rest House, Ash Sharqiyah, Saudi Arabia. Lat/long estimate based on Dammam, Saudi Arabia- Ancistrodon identifié comme Ancistrodon libycus
- Aynunah - Wadi Azlam - Al Khuraybah : Tabuk - ? 37516 49609 Vicinities of Aynunah and Wadi Azlam, N of Duba on the Red Sea coast, NW Saudi Arabia; note that the paper indicates that the material comes from two nearby localities, but there is no detail as to which material comes from where, hence its grouping as one collection. Later paper on dinosaurs described sites as "Al Khuraybah" (11 km NE of Al Khuraybah), but map in first paper clearly indicates the same set of outcrops, all of which are closer to the latter than to Duba.
