Abstract: Lobate debris aprons (LDA), lineated valley fill (LVF), and concentric crater fill (CCF) on Mars, interpreted to bedebris-covered glaciers, possess craters with a suite of distinct interior landforms (called "ring-mold craters")that have been attributed to the presence of glacial ice at depth or surface modification processes. We testedcurrent hypotheses for the formation of ring-mold craters by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the size andmorphology of 16,457 impact craters 125m in dia...
