The developmental process by which the mammary placode forms. The mammary placode is a transient lens shaped structure that will give rise to the mammary bud proper. The orderly movement of epithelial cells within the mammary line that contributes to the formation of the mammary placode. Cell migration that is accomplished by extension and retraction of a pseudopodium. The process pertaining to the initial formation of the mammary gland from unspecified parts. The process begins with formation of the mammary line and ends when the solid mammary bud invades the primary mammary mesenchyme. The orderly movement of epithelial cells from one site to another, often during the development of a multicellular organism. The process by which the population of cells that make up an epithelium undergo directed movement. The developmental process by which an ectodermal placode forms. An ectodermal placode is a thickening of the ectoderm that is the primordium of many structures derived from the ectoderm.
