Swapping the clutch + flywheel

The clutch started making a clunking noise, and within a week or two began to slip when accelerating from a stop. I consulted the NAM mother-brain for information, and decided to drop the transmission and have a look. This is the first time I've done any home mechano-mancery beyond simple bolt-ons.

Here's what I found:














I'm hoping someone may be able to explain the extent of the damage here. I already replaced everything, I'm just trying to gauge whether or not this is considered 'normal' wear or not. Thanks for the feedback

That's the original 09 clutch ?
Looks like it was slipping and caused hot spots. I think it's just normal wear for a well used clutch lolol
