From: Age and context of mid-Pliocene hominin cranium from Woranso-Mille, Ethiopia

Extended Data Fig. 10

Volcanic and sedimentary strata of the Sullu Adu Range (including the Guda Plateau) are sub-horizontal, 4 Myr old and younger, and stratigraphically above Oligocene and Miocene basalts and rhyolites that are tilted to the east-northeast, indicating periods of extension32 before approximately 4 Myr ago. Nearby areas with well-studied exposures13,32 of these Oligocene and Miocene formations are labelled in bold. Areas with lake deposits10,13 in the lower Hadar or upper Sagantole formations are labelled in italics. The base map is from http://www.geomapapp.org using the global multi-resolution topography synthesis50.
