Some of the larger, more or less flat-topped rocks, especially the big one at the far right of the scan appear to have striations on the surface. On earth we see these as evidence of glaciation... What could cause that on Mars?

Might be erosion from dust, but I’d guess this resulted from impact. The entire surface of the planet appears to have been primarily brought to its current state by millions of impacts.
