is this clutch junk?

This flywheel/pressure plate came out of a 22k mile LS1. It has some weird surface wear that im not sure about. kind of a shame if its beyond use since theres so much left on the disc and some spots are hardly worn in.

Car: Yes
Engine: Usually
Transmission: Sometimes
Axle/Gears: Behind me somewhere
Pretty typical hot spots from the PO slipping it alot. Not knowing how to start off from a stop and let the clutch get hooked up solid as soon as possible; and letting off the clutch pedal slowly when shifting; and pushing the clutch slowly while the gas pedal is still depressed. Just ordinary driver error.

I guess that would also explain how the previous owner hit a tree sideways hard enough to crack the tailshaft housing... gotta know how to drive these things. Not all bad though, eng/trans now lives in my car.
