Asteroid Donaldjohanson (nomenclature)

On 27 August 2025, the International Astronomical Union announced 11 official names for Geological Features on Donaldjohanson, which follow the naming theme of archeological sites and hominin fossils. The smaller lobe of Donaldjohanson is named Afar Lobus, after the Afar Triangle in Ethiopia, and the larger lobe is named Olduvai Lobus, after Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania.
The neck connecting the two lobes is named Windover Collum, after the Windover Archeological Site in Florida, United States. The middle of Windover Collum is encircled by a ridge named Luzia Dorsum (named after the Luzia Woman), which divides the neck into Hadar Regio and Minatogawa Regio (named after Hadar, Ethiopia and the Minatogawa Man, respectively). Several craters and large boulders ("saxa") on Olduvai Lobus have been named as well.
