In today's preferred terminology, Yuty is described as a multiple-layer ejecta (MLE) rampart crater because its ejecta is deposited in a series of three or more discrete layers. The presence of multiple ejecta layers may reflect impact into multiple layers of ice or a subsurface layer saturated with liquid water. The exact process is still somewhat controversial.
Yuty is currently referred to as an MLE (multiple-layer ejecta) rampart crater because its debris is spread across several separate strata. The presence of multiple ejecta layers may suggest that the impact involved various ice layers or a subsurface layer filled with liquid water, although the exact process remains unclear.
