Thanks very much, podrock. I was a bit stunned by the feeling of awe induced by the color image. Now you've harnessed my brain to the sense of awe, and my perception of the scene is now literally three dimensional.

Now that you've drawn my attention to the "strange fracture pattern", it seems (now) obviously linked to the main feature by the fracture lines connecting them. Like a strong plant pushing through an asphalt driveway, indeed (though I was wondering at first where you were going with that colorful turn of phrase).

Looking further to the upper right, there are bright patches on the crater wall. That's all I can say: Are they sites where the dark material's been scuffed away revealing lighter material underneath? Or did bits of the light material make it from the eruptions in the center out to the rim? How do you bet?

Sweet, sweet, science!
