Sandstone Erosion #1

IMAGE NUMBER: 116 (ORDER PRINT)
TITLE: Sandstone Erosion #1
LOCATION: Garrapata State Park, Monterey County, California
DESCRIPTION: The exact process of these unique formations in sandstone is not
entirely clear. Called tafoni (which means cavern in Italian) the waves and salt spray
leave salt crystals on the sandstones. Salt and water interacts with the cement
between the sand grains, and in fractures in the rock. It hardens
portions and loosens others, creating the pattern.
