Short summary
The aim of this review is to summarise the current knowledge about mud-volcano-like structures on Mars, address critical aspects of the process of sedimentary volcanism, identify key open questions, and point to areas where further research is needed to understand this phenomenon and its importance in the Red Planet's geological evolution.
