AS15-M-2470 This small region northeast of [/Delisle Delisle] was the subject of a Topophotomap which is the source of several IAU-approved [/minor%20feature minor feature] names: [/Boris Boris], [/Gaston Gaston], [/Linda Linda] and [/Rupes%20Boris Rupes Boris]. Rupes Boris refers to a minor step in elevation detected in the stereo mapping. The shadows in this photo make it appear more of a ridge. The large trench-like depression at one end of [/Rima%20Delisle Rima Delisle] is unnamed.

Description
Rupes Boris is not a fault. It is a ridge that is part of the ejecta of the fresh crater Delisle. In any case this feature is too minor to warrant a name, much less a name that gives an incorrect classification.
