Patterns formed by the flow of an inhomogeneous fluid (suspension) over a smooth inclined surface were studied. It was observed that for inclination angle larger than a threshold, global fractal patterns are formed. The fractal dimensions of these patterns were measured df=1.35-1.45 which corresponds to that observed for the flow of water over an inhomogeneous surface, implying that this system is within the same universality class. Except that here the disorder is present in the fluid and is transferred to the surface. This observation is in agreement with the result of the theories of nonlinear flow of fluid in disordered media.
