Interesting concept in this being giant deposits of pumice. The currents of a possible ancient Mars ocean would favor any floating debris to be carried to the southwest of the volcano.
If true, apparently Olympus Mons has its guts all over the planet, thought a relatively small feat to Tooting crater supposedly throwing them all over neighboring planets.
