Granted, the violence and kinetic energy of a massive meteor impact can certainly melt rock and cause all manner of formations.
On the other hand, there are some compelling features that have unique parallels.

To illustrate the point, I've added what should be a reasonable representation of a yellow steam shovel (they're not so little) to the photo at what should be scale.

The copernicus walls are 11,400 feet at their tallest point... if we assume worst case, I cropped the image to cover the cliff only, and scaled it to 456 pixels, or one pixel for every 25 feet. (The scale is likely off due to the perspective of the photo, but it's close enough for what we're doing here.)
Now if we assign a very generous height of 75 feet to our shovel, it will look something like this:

This is the magnified version. Magnify as needed.

This one is interesting... the impact site of Ranger III taken by Lunar Orbiter II, a lesson in photo object identification...
