Impact Craters hardly make a dent, no obvious erosion taking place in the sidewalls which is unusual. Could have drifting ash from the volcanoes mostly fallen thousands of feet thick in this one area? Mars atmosphere is thin, so the heavier ash will not go far.
I would point out the shadows being cast by the protrusions in the upper wall… You can’t see it from our angle but a shadow that is incredibly long (like Pinocchio‘s nose). An anomaly that may only be possible in low gravity.

Is this due to hardened rock -really hard? or a glancing blow or both?
