  Bakhuysen Crater, located in Noachis Terra, is thought to be the
  largest crater that possesses (and has preserved) these pitted materials.

o Hematite in Capri Chasma
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_020309_1570

  The TES instrument has detected gray hematite in this area of Capri
  Chasma, one of several large depressions that make up the Valles Marineris
  canyon system.

o Caves and Craters

  Earlier this year, the CTX camera team saw a crater containing a dark spot
  on the dusty slopes of the Pavonis Mons volcano. We took a closer look at
  this feature with HiRISE and found this unusual geologic feature.
