I read a piece in Sky & Telescope with photos that looked like water seeping down. One theory was that a layer of underground ice was making mudslides on the crater wall where it intersects with the exposed slope, but it could also be dusty landslides as 01101001 said.

BTW: Here is a picture that shows the surface of Mars having been altered artificially by a advanced civilization. :wink:
