Lunar Anomalies #14

This is an area about 750m by 750m.  A large shallow crater fills almost the entire area.

Center right is a very bright ejecta blanket (???) and a crater (???).  Looks slightly pentagonal.

Are those shock waves in the regolith (near the center of the image) radiating from that bright 'crater'?

Also note the pentagonal crater (lower left), and what seems to be two almost equal-sized craters one 'inside' the other (upper right).

This is in LRO dataset M1493691723RC.











Also in the same dataset but in a slightly different location:


What is that dome-looking object in the center of this crater?  At the resolution of this image (0.68 meters per pixel), this object is about 7 meters across.

This one, from LRO dataset M1493691723LC, is very confusing:


Same dataset -- there continue to be quite a number of craters with these dark areas in their centers.  This one also appears to have other internal structures:
