The Al-Khod Conglomerate is a Mesozoic geologic formation in Oman. Dinosaur remains belonging to ornithischians, theropods and sauropods are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation, although none have yet been referred to a specific genus, which belong to one of very few records of dinosaur remains currently known from Oman.[1]
