Dikika
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Dikika is an area of the Afar Region of Ethiopia where was found the hominin fossil named Selam (a specimen of the Australopithecus afarensis species). Dikika is located in Mille woreda.[1]
Dikika is also given to name a basal member of the Hadar formation, a series of sedimentary rocks deposited approximately 3.4 million years ago, which have been exposed by the erosive action of the Awash River.
