The question of whether the pattern of the crater wall is due to the radial fractures produced by the impact or whether its because of other factors depends, I think, on the frequency of occurence of such craters with such exhibiting such a pattern.
If this 'Victorian spikes' design is particularly unusual for the region and we assume uniformity in the nature of the sedimentary rocks, one could be tempted to conclude that the impact is responsible for the pattern. Another reason is because of a combination of the impact and nature of the rocks factors? Is there another crater with such a pattern nearby? -------------------- |
