A few of the lineations veer from concentric to radial in orientation. The outward change on a broader scale from concentric to radial patterns also occurs at other fresh craters, and probably records changing conditions of flow as the ejecta was transported outward at high velocity. This view looks away from King and is centered about 50 km from its rim crest. The lobes appear to border thick flows or slide masses of King ejecta. They resemble terrestrial rock avalanche deposits that came to rest after climbing a small slope.
Some lobes overlap each other outward like shingles.
The sketch shows what would probably be seen in a cutaway view. The bright slope along the left side of the photo faces both the Sun and King. It apparently acted as a barrier for the ejecta surging outward from King, for there are small deceleration lobes on the slopes. Most of the plateau east of the slope is pocked by small craters that were not covered by the ejecta blanket. However, a belt of linear dunelike features radial to King crosses part of the plateau from lower left to upper right.
