Martian Mud Flows
There are features on Mars that could be mud flows or lava flows. Until this is settled, perhaps (but unlikely) by a geologist with a hammer, speculation continues. And to provide some facts for the speculation we have THIS ARTICLE (brought to my attention by a correspondent) which describes experiments which look at how mud acts in a Martian environment.
In the low pressure of Mars's atmosphere mud acts like pahoehoe lava and looks like it also.
The initial article can be found HERE.
