  Crommelin Crater in northwest Meridiani Planum is a large
  structure which contains light-toned material with layered
  and stepped buttes.

o Sediments inside Aram Crater

  Aram Chaos is characterized by chaotic terrains overlain by
  approximately 900 meters of sediments within the 280 kilometer
  diameter Aram Crater.

o Lava Flow Front in Elysium Planitia
  http://hirise.lpl.arizona.edu/ESP_028004_1825

  This rough lava is surrounded by smoother lava with abundant
  inflation features.

o Bits and Pieces...
