The "Central Uplift" of Oudemans Crater (EDM - possible Natural Colors; credits: Lunexit)
This HiRISE image covers a portion of the Central Uplift of the 120-Km diameter Oudemans Crater.
Oudemans is located at the Western end of Valles Marineris and just South of the Great Canyon System by the Noctis Labyrinthus. 
Images from the Mars Orbital Camera (MOC) were the first to reveal that this large impact crater exposed Layered Rock in its Central Uplift Feature.
Such beautifully preserved Layered Rocks, although rare, are no surprise to planetary scientists. 

First, Layered Rocks exposed in the Central Uplifts are common in terrestrial impact structures. Secondly, there is abundant layering exposed in the nearby Valles Marineris Canyon System — a gash that exposes layering down to 7 Km beneath the mean Surface. 
This suggests that Layered Materials exist to great depths in the Subsurface, which is supported by the Oudemans Central Uplift observation.

uno spaccato stratigrafico splendido con tanto di dislocazioni (al centro dell'immagine) definibili nell'ambito di una geodinamica superficiale attiva nel passato marziano.Gli angoli netti tra le stratificazioni dislocate dalle faglie e quelle inalterate indicano un'attività geologico-strutturale posteriore alla deposizione delle rocce sedimentarie in foto.
L'alternanza cromatica tra gli strati indica invece il verificarsi di almeno due tipi di fenomeni sedimentari differenti ma alternatosi con una certa regolarità.
