Nomenclature
Amadeus William; American paleontologist (1870-1946).
- Dorsum Grabau was among the many provisional [/dorsum dorsa] names appearing on NASA’s [/LTO LTO] charts that were approved by the [/IAU IAU] “as now assigned and printed” (on those charts) in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVIB IAU Transactions XVIB]. It is labeled on LTO-40B1 and LTO-40B2.
- The diameter currently listed for Dorsum Grabau in the on-line [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer] (and repeated on the title line of this page) seems about right, but appears to be positioned much to far to the west, being centered nearly on [/Sampson Sampson], at the extreme western end of the ridge named on the LTO's.
