An experimental study of impact cratering on a mudlike target has been conducted in order to develop a model for ejecta deposits which seem to have been emplaced by flow on the Martian surface. The study yields a possible scheme for the impact, ejection of material, ballistic transport of ejecta, and mode of secondary cratering by the fragments. Comparison of the experimental data with high-resolution Viking Orbiter imagery suggests that the deposits around such rampart craters as Arandes may have been formed by a flow of fluidized materials.
