Surface Bands on Lobate Debris Apron with High Sinuosity

Sine of the Times
At the southern section of the floor of an impact crater is this stunning lobate (tongue-shaped) debris apron with surface banding showing high sinuosity. This is might be the result of glacial or periglacial processes at work in this and possibly other parts of the crater.
