Oblique view facing north from Apollo 15. The small crater near top center is Landsteiner.

Dorsum Grabau is a wrinkle ridge at 29°24′N 15°54′W / 29.4°N 15.9°W / 29.4; -15.9 north of Timocharis crater in Mare Imbrium on the Moon. It is 121 km long and was named after American paleontologist Amadeus William Grabau in 1976.[1]

The ridge starts very close to Dorsum Higazy and close to Sampson in the northwest being the closest named crater to the feature, then it heads close to Landsteiner crater located north in the area north of the 30th parallel and finishes east-northeast at Rimae Spitzbergen.
