Small Crater with Layered Sedimentary Mound

A Small Crater with a Layered Sedimentary Mound
Are these layers sedimentary rock or ice-related materials? Do the layers have quasi-periodic bedding? These questions are unclear due to the latitude: an outlier of Becquerel Crater or younger outlier of mid-latitude glaciation? Our image can look for sublimation features, and determine if (or not) this is a sedimentary rock outlier.
