We discuss apparent characteristic features of Rayleigh scattering of elastic waves from cracks. Interpreting these features, a procedure is suggested that in some experimental situations may be useful to distinguish generally-shaped cracks from volume defects and to determine from elliptically-shaped cracks the orientation, shape and size.
