Madar, Yemen
Madar is a village about 50 km (30 mi) north of the Yemeni capital of Sanaa. In 2003 a local journalist noted the existence of dinosaur footprints in limestone bedrock and brought them to the attention of geologists at the University of Sanaa.

The discovery is the first of dinosaur footprints in the Arabian Peni
