Real subtle, but it looks like there might be a Ksa-style impact crater on Xanadu in the T20 distant look. A central peak in the crater might just be visible.

Either that, or some type of cone structure? ISS is not much help, but an inset is included in the graphic:

[EDIT: Added a second graphic with a diagram to indicate the possible structure]
