Just to toss in my 2 cents worth, when I look at cape york from above, I see the black hills of south dakota. They're a bit of old eroded mountain range complete with a "race track" of the spearfish formation forming a perifery around it. It's what a billion years of differential erosion will do. I know this is a crater rim but the same processes would apply. Any assymetries could be due to wind differences or the way the original crater rim was blasted out.
That cleft at the top is really interesting though!! |
