Bedrock (MULTISPECTRUM; credits: Lunexit)

This frame shows part of the floor of an unnamed crater in the Southern Highlands, near Hellas Planitia. It depicts light-colored bedrock and darker wind deposits. The bedrock appears tan-colored and shows subtle signs of layering in places (...). 
Layering in terrestrial formations usually indicates that the rock-forming materials were deposited by wind or water.
The bedrock is crisscrossed by a dense network of rectilinear (lines that are parallel or at right angles) fractures; some can be followed for hundreds of meters. 

The fractures look bluish in color, indicating that they are occupied by materials that are somehow different from the bedrock. Perhaps wind-carried materials got trapped in the depressed fracture zones.
