You should be careful about calling these "tiger stripes". That nickname has become so ingrained in the community to refer to the cryovolcanic-tectonic structures in Enceladus' south polar region, that calling these features "tiger stripes" may lead people to think that these features are similar. True, these do have a superficial similarity, but quite frankly, we are not sure how these formed, though they do seem to be tectonic in origin. How about..."Zebra Stripes"? laugh.gif

Good call. I'll start referring to them as "wavy cracks" (including the quotes as well).

Cycloids would be a pretty good term, if we get better resolution imaging and if they compare well with Europan and Enceladean features.)

(Actually, these things look kinda like the feaures on Charlie Brown's head)
