On second thought (or third), it looks like material from the original crater 'wall' has slumped toward the center -- basically the same as what occurs in craters on the moon and Mercury. In this case, though, the slumps have slid all the way to the central peak/uplift, and continued to flow as they were displaced by more material sliding down from above. After eons, a jumbled flow was the result.
