Abstract
⺠We investigate the distribution of cones in Isidis Planitia and their relationship to basin fill. ⺠We propose that the basin was inundated by pyroclastic flows. ⺠We favor cone formation by mobilization of volcaniclastic material due to degassing. ⺠The gas concentration required for cone formation is low.
