Martian Meanders and Scroll-Bars – Channels become inverted when the sediments filling them become more resistant to erosion than the surrounding material. Here, the most likely process leading to hardening of the channel material is chemical cementation by precipitation of minerals.

A Crater Cross Cut by a Fissure — The crater is clearly cross cut by the fissure. But the crater remains very circular. The HiRISE footprint may be too small to properly measure the diameter but it does get a good view of the exposed fissure walls cutting down below the crater.
