How about a large iron impacting the Northern hemisphere of Mars
creating an impact basin now filled by lava and mud.

The iron impactor disintegrated and spread iron all over the planet in
a fallout cloud and created a layer of iron rich material on the
surface.

The weather on Mars continues to spread the meteorite material around.
Other large scale impacts have created layered regolith. The lack of
water erosional processes allow us to see the impact debris still
scattered all over the surface.

regards to all in meteorite land
