Resumen


El descubrimiento de fragmentos de cáscaras de huevos de tipo avestruz en los afloramientos de la Formación Marsawdad, Rub’ Al-Khali, Oman, permite la estimación de la edad de los depósitos, correlacionada con el Mioceno Superior (Turoliense-Ventiense: Tortoniense-Messiniense) ca 8-7 Ma. Las cáscaras de huevo se describen y se sitúan en una biostratigrafía revisada de los depósitos terrestres de la Península de Arabia.
