Looking at Erebus in a regional context, it should be remembered that Mars has been bombarded over the past few billion years and that Erebus is not a standalone feature. This MOC image shows Erebus in relation to other impacts in this area. It seems to me that the three large craters ("Purgatory", Erebus and Terra Nova) are contemporaneous since they appear equally eroded. I've also included an image layer showing overlying large sand drifts.
