Martian intracrater splotches and related streaks are studied using new morphologic, color, and global mapping data. The splotches are concentrated at high latitudes; surface properties such as albedo and thermal inertia have little influence on splotch occurrence. A significant fraction of splotches at high southern latitudes is formed of dune fields, some of which are much greater than 100 m thick. Evidence of complex histories of sedimentary filling and erosion is common at all latitudes for craters that contain splotches. The kind of splotches is correlated with the amount of crater floor erosion. Changes in splotch-related streaks are more common for those originating from dunes than for those associated with splotches lacking visible dunes. Colors of splotches fall in a specific range and indicate that dune and nondune splotches are part of a closely related group of materials.
