Geographic and geologic setting of the Lee Adoyta hominin site.(A) The LAV (yellow square), Afar Depression (gray area), Ethiopia. RS, Red Sea; GOA, Gulf of Aden; MER, Main Ethiopian Rift. (B) LAV project areas and the approximate mapped extent of the Hadar Formation senso stricto. The Busidima Formation is largely exposed in the areas of Hadar, Gona, and Dikika. (C) Sediments and volcanic rocks in the eastern LG research project area are cut by two sets of faults striking NW and NNE, indicating the influence of both the RS and MER extensional systems, respectively. At Lee Adoyta, NW-trending faults are most significant and appear to cross-cut NNE faults. Regions referred to in the text are labeled in black.

3. Fig. 2 Geologic map and cross section of the Lee Adoyta hominin site
Fig. 2 Geologic map and cross section of the Lee Adoyta hominin site.(A) Geologic map of the region surrounding the Lee Adoyta hominin site (yellow star) showing NW-SE–oriented faults dissecting sedimentary packages into discrete blocks.
Geologic map and cross section of the Lee Adoyta hominin site.(A) Geologic map of the region surrounding the Lee Adoyta hominin site (yellow star) showing NW-SE–oriented faults dissecting sedimentary packages into discrete blocks. We mapped the 900 × 500–m area in the field using high-resolution (1 m) stereo imagery and Global Positioning System technology. (B) West-to-east cross section of Lee Adoyta. The older Bulinan and Gurumaha fault blocks are uplifted relative to the younger adjacent Lee Adoyta and Garsalu fault blocks.
