Abstract
By MOC high resolution images on Ceraunius Tholus peculiar style of embankments of teardrop shape is found on the western surface of the volcano. They are mostly associated with small sized craters. Combined with circular crater cavity, it resembles the shape of tadpole and here after we call this as tadpole crater. We investigate its distribution, and measure the size and the orientation. The orientation of the tail is mostly parallel to the direction of the local maximum slope. The origin of this flow will be discussed based on the geomorphological measurements on the tadpole craters.
