A scalloped margin dome is a volcanic dome that has experienced collapse and mass wasting such as landslides on its perimeter. The margins of these domes have arcuate headscarps or ‘scallops’ separated by ridges that are a consequence of adjoining scallops. Sometimes debris or slumping can be found at the bottom of these scarps or scattered many tens of kilometers away. Many examples show no debris at all. The center of these domes is often but not always a depression.
