Abstract: Let $varphi$ be any flow on $T^n$ obtained as the suspension of a diffeomorphism of $T^{n-1}$ and let $mathcalA$ be any compact invariant set of $varphi$. We realize $(mathcalA,varphi{|}_{mathcalA})$ up to reparametrization as an invariant set of the Reeb flow of a contact form on $mathbb{R}^{2n+1}$ equal to the standard contact form outside a compact set and defining the standard contact structure on all of $mathbb{R}^{2n+1}$. This generalizes the construction of Geiges, R"ottgen and Zehmisch.
