They look like shells...don't know what type.

Looks like some type of Shell....like a group of little Oysters attached.

I don't know what the age of the formation is, nor am I familiar with the fauna found in Saudi Arabia.  So, based on little-to-no knowledge of what I'm talking about, I'd have to agree that if I found these in the cretaceous exposures around Austin, Tx., I'd ID them as a group of oysters.  Sorry, I can't get you any closer than that.

I'm not familiar with what is found in your area, but judging only by the photo I would say oyster.

The shells measure 1-1.5 cm and 4 mm deep , the age of the area is Juraasic
