[BR-Crater] Circle assumption

I realized there's an assumption underlying seeing circles in scenery:
*Multiple arcs which form a circle are unlikely to happen randomly, so
it is likely that a single event formed any discovered circle.
*
When we see a circle we are likely to think the entire circle was
probably created due to something which makes circles. We should
examine the reasons for various arcs and not assume the circle was
created due to a single reason.
Ian has found pieces of evidence which point toward the existence of an
impact event in the area. Are there clues in the various arcs which can
reveal why each arc is visible? Are we seeing crater-edge fractures,
changes in impact alterations, surface extensions of deep impact-caused
faults, mineral fertilization of plants along an old crater rim?
