Description
This is a short ridge, one of the few remaining parts of the rim (interpreted) of the [/Mare%20Nubium Nubium Basin]. All basin rims are places where the terrain inside the rim has moved downward compared to that beyond it, but there is no evidence that this rim arc is a fault. The classic rupes or faults on the Moon have scarps, and although Rupes Mercator casts a straight shadow, it does not have a scarp face and thus labelling it a rupes is unwarranted.
