And here is a context image showing how Pan is amongst the rings of Saturn. The buildup of 'foof' along the equator is from ring residue gently accumulating on Pan and following the intricate gravity gradient(s) as it does so.

Additionally, the cracks are apparently actual cracks. Pan is large enough, weak enough, and close enough to Saturn it is showing some fractures from the intense tidal effects of Saturn. Similar cracks have been seen (and finally understood) on Phobos.

Is there any reason why the photos aren't coming up in Vorlon's post? I copied the links directly into firefox and they are valid.
