Best Answer

Tafoni, also called 'honeycomb weathering' are a group of significant pits formed in the surface of a rock. Very common in coastal areas, where the regular wet-dry cycles are obvious.

Caused by differential weathering of the rock, and the 'lands' between the pits are often quite thin and lacy in appearance. The presence of salt is thought to be an important feature of this type of weathering.
