I don't have much experience with them, but the cracks seem to be multiple hairline spiderweb pattern.
Here's a picture (I hope).

That flywheel is bad. Don't throw it away if the starter engagement teeth are good. That ring can be removed by simply applying heat to the ring which will cause it to expand and come right off. I would leave the ring on for now so that when it is ever needed, you will be able to tell what flywheel it is from.
