LO-IV-151H This [/Lunar%20Orbiter Lunar Orbiter] view extends from the 8-km circular crater [/V%C3%A4is%C3%A4l%C3%A4 Väisälä] in the lower left to 22-km [/Krieger Krieger] in the upper right. To the right of [/V%C3%A4is%C3%A4l%C3%A4 Väisälä] is 7-km [/Aristarchus Aristarchus] B. Rupes Toscanelli is the ridge extending north from [/Aristarchus Aristarchus] B through 7-km [/Toscanelli Toscanelli] and a little beyond it. Much of the view is filled with rilles, most of which are probably regarded as part of the [/Rimae%20Aristarchus Rimae Aristarchus] system. The sunlit arc in the lower right corner is part of the northwest rim of 46-km [/Prinz Prinz]. The bright sharp-edged half-circles scattered over the frame are defects in the film development.

Description
The small number of named lunar faults are places where the lunar crust has moved vertically, creating a scarp. Rupes Toscanelli does not appear to be a fault like the others. It has a rounded surface rather than a scarp and appears to be a mare ridge with a slightly steep edge. Its curvature is more like a ridge than a vertical fault too. In any case it is too insignificant a feature to warrant a name, especially one that is a wrong classification. - tychocrater tychocrater Nov 24, 2007
