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.

Go back and compare Erebus's ejecta zone with Endurance's. All we saw as the rovers rolled up to the crater was odd (secondary impact???) pitting and some fractures here and there on a rumpled, relatively drift-free sand-and-blueberry-sheet with some scattered sulfate-rock cobbles.
