To my mind it is still looking more like a “splatter” rather than something you’d see from hydrothermal activity, for instance.

Looks more like a subsidence than an impact zone.

even the cracks could have been formed by slope failure

hard to tell from the colour enhanced gif as they didn’t colour the white bits.
