Chatterjee's Shiva Crater is named for the Hindu goddess of
death, destruction (and rebirth),


That's a "he". :-°

*Kakuru* and *Wonambu* are both named for two different tribes' name
for the same essential icon, the Rainbow Serpent, which is revered (and
sometimes feared) in aboriginal lore.

(In case anyone doesn't know the impressive snake... that was a typo for *Wonambi*.)

Thus "Kristendomslava" should not be surprising.

Well, it's a different case. It's a chronological term and not directly named after Jesus Christ.

While I am at it, the baculum (one C) has nothing recognizable to do with Bacchus, and neither does the straight ammonite *Baculites* (again one C).

Don't the paleontologists in the book Jurassic Park measure time in beer cases? :->
