- Ameghino was also captured on Apollo 17's panoramic ITEK-camera frames AS17-P-2927 and AS17-P-2932. You don't have to scroll your way toward the right parts of the frames, because Ameghino is already visible near the right margin of your screen! (the bright crater with the cone-shaped inner slopes).

- The name [/Apollonius Apollonius] C was part of the original [/IAU%20nomenclature IAU nomenclature] of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller] (Catalog Entry 69). The name is attributed to [/Neison%2C%201876 Neison], and it is noted to be different from Mädler's Apollonius C .
