This is interesting. Is this erosion or sedimentary layering?

It is likely a set of fractures. Crater rim slumping comes to mind, but they don't quite line up 'right'. Agreed. Also interesting are some of the hollows in the crater wall, they look similar to formations on 67P, though they could still be the result of impacts. Evidence of multiple resurfacing events maybe? |
