This crater has been infilled by a material that likely contains volatiles. The linear to swirled surface marking indicate the the fill flowed as it was filling the crater interior. The volatile could be ice, in which case the flow features are related to glacial action. Or the volatile could have been water, and the infilling material was mud.
