Relatively fresh Impact Crater (CTX Frame - Natural Colors; credits: Dr Paolo C. Fienga - Lunexit Team)
This image shows a very fresh-looking Impact Crater with an extensive Radial Ejecta Blanket.
The Crater was first seen in an image acquired with MRO's Context Camera (CTX). The best image of this Region prior to CTX was from one of the Viking Orbiters, and the Crater is not visible in it. 
This could either mean that the Crater formed sometime between 1976 and 1999, or that there might have been more Dust on the Surface in 1976, or that maybe the air could have been hazy, thus obscuring the Crater.

Based on the HiRISE image, we suspect that the Crater is more than several decades old, because at full resolution we see a "Textured Surface" (see EDM n.2) that is common in Dust-Mantled Regions of Mars, but absent in the youngest craters.
