Notice that the lighter colored inner material at the top right still preserves waving curved layers of stone.
Large flat slabs have been tipped up from the center and dropped down on their edges in a circular pattern.
I believe that the force of the impact converted the underlying water table into steam, and the following steam explosion forced these slabs up. At the same time it forced the Hermosa Formation up into Roberts Rift and bleached the rocks along the rift.
