Holden Crater was once filled by at least *two* different lakes. The sediments deposited in those lakes are relatively light-toned where exposed, as we see in this observation .
Each layer represents a different point in time and perhaps a changing environment for Martian life, if it existed. The elongated ridges with sharp crests are sand dunes.
