It appears that this crater was filled in, possibly by lava. The lava appears to overlay sand and sedimentary deposits, so finer scale resolution is needed to see this boundary. Dunes are also visible in this channel, which can be compared to similar features in Huo Hsing Vallis.

Billions of years ago, a river flowed across this scene in Mawrth Vallis. Like on Earth, these river beds can get filled up with rocks that are cemented together.
