===Description===<br />
An informal name for a special category of very small features that have been given official names in the [/IAU%20Nomenclature IAU Nomenclature].<br /> <u>Note:</u><br /> Some of them are not that small. Nearside crater '''Natasha''' is the largest one (12 km), it is depicted on classic moonmaps such as ''Hallwag'''s. The somewhat elongated depression '''Kathleen''' (at '''Palus Putredinis''') is also an easy target for common telescopes, so is bowl-shaped crater '''Jehan''' (diameter 5 kilometer) near '''Natasha'''.<br /> <br /> <br />

===Additional Information===<br />
During the preparation for NASA of the highly-detailed Apollo-imagery related maps known as the [/Topophotomap Topophotomap] series, names were assigned to a number of extremely small features. The legends at the bottom of the maps say they were intended as “informal” names to be used only in describing that particular map. However, in 1976 most, but not all of these, were formally adopted into the official [/IAU%20Nomenclature IAU Nomenclature]. The [/IAU IAU] does not recognize these as a separate category of feature, and hence they are lumped together with much more significant features of the same type. This leads many newcomers to lunar nomenclature to wonder why these particular tiny features have names, while innumerable other larger features do not. The reason is that they happened to fall in one of the very few portions of the Moon covered by a [/Topophotomap Topophotomap].<br /> <br /> A list of 95 features of this type can be found on page 175 of [/NASA%20RP-1097 NASA RP-1097]. One of these is a ‘Dorsa’, 3 are ‘Catena’, 7 are ‘Mons’, 10 are ‘Rima’, and the remainder are listed as ‘Craters’. This is not necessarily a complete list of Minor Features in the IAU Nomenclature, and some of the names in this list may have subsequently changed. For example, “Christel’ and ‘Krishna’ are now ‘Vallis Christel’ and ‘Vallis Krishna’.<br /> <br /> <br />
==Nomenclature of tiny craterlets near the landing sites of the Apollo project's 6 Lunar Modules (Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17)==<br />
To these might be added the Apollo [/Landing%20Site%20Name Landing Site Names] which added an additional 79 very minor features to the IAU nomenclature. The Landing Site Names are a special category recognized by the IAU. The more numerous and more widely-scattered minor features described here are not.<br /> <span class="membersnap">- [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher [[Image:JimMosher-lg.jpg|16px|JimMosher]]] [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher JimMosher]</span><br /> <br /> <br />
