Dataset Information

These data were collected in the Lee Adoyta basin of Ledi Geraru Research Project, Lower Awash Valley, Afar, Ethiopia. They were produced in support of paleontological research. The area comprises gently tilted 2.7 million year old rocks faulted against 3 million year old basalts. The area was described by DiMaggio, E. N., Campisano, C. J., Rowan, J., Dupont-Nivet, G., Deino, A. L., Bibi, F., Lewis, M. E., Souron, A., Garello, D., Werdelin, L., Reed, K., E., Arrowsmith, J R., Late Pliocene Fossiliferous Sedimentary Record and the Environmental Context of early Homo from Afar, Ethiopia, Science, VOL 347 ISSUE 6228, 10.1126/science.aaa1415, 2015. Collected with a DJI Mavic Air by Ramon Arrowsmith in coordination with Erin DiMaggio. Dominique Garello and Brian Villmoare assisted in ground control and planning.
