Via Space.com -- there's lots of coverage today of a new paper by Head, Schon (and others?) in "Geology". The headline finding is a claim to have dated four distinct flows down a gully by crater-counting (a nearby crater produced many secondaries, I think.) I've not been able to find an abstract online, let alone full-text, but there's good detail in, e.g., the SciAm piece .

(Quick edit after a more leisurely search) - found this paper by the same authors from European Planetary Science Congress (2008):
