Very good discussion, Ed.
My "first impression" is that Phobos is dusted with the ubiquitous limonitic Mars dust, and the bluish area looks as though a big puff of gas came along and blew some of the dust off. Knowing full well that the "Mars dust" is not limonitic, nor do we have puffs of gas roaming through space... <clink, clink> --Bill -------------------- |

It looks to me like perhaps a very large bird used the rim of Stickney as a perch.
