Tafoni sandstone refers to ordinary sandstone sculpted by tafoni—networks of rounded hollows, pits, or cavernous cavities that create a honeycomb, alveolar, or “Swiss-cheese” appearance.

☀ tafoni rock / tafoni weathering
Tafoni are cavities that develop in granular rock .
Although there are various definitions in the scientific literature, tafoni are commonly defined as small (less than 1 cm (0.39 in)) to large (greater than 1 meter (3.3 ft)) cavity features that develop in either natural or manmade, vertical to steeply sloping, exposures of granular rock (i.e., granite, sandstone) with smooth concave walls, and often round rims and openings. Recognized subcategories of tafoni include honeycomb, stonelace, alveolar (less than 2 cm (0.79 in)), sidewall, basal, nested, and relic tafoni .

Tafoni.
What I saw today: Tafoni
Kinda creepy looking “lace” erosion in sandstone, near the bottom of a famous outcrop. The larger holes are roughly fist-sized, the smallest “threads” are about a centimeter wide but stand away from the background much more than a cm.
Looking up to the overhanging rocks -- look at those “cannonballs” apparently suspended from the parent rock above them. The holes are much larger, in general, than the lace Tafoni at the base in the other view.
About 1.2 mile / 2km walk from the nearest road; nice safe trail.

Planar view of the honeycomb weathering (tafoni) feature in medium-grain sandstone.
South coast NSW, Australia.
Tafoni Basalt This is a lovely rock from Rapa Nui (aka Easter island). Like many of the rocks on that hotspot-produced island, this rock is a basalt, a lava flow erupted from an oceanic volcano. You can also clearly see how the outermost layer of the rock is being gradually popped off – this honeycomb like texture is called “Tafoni” by geoscientists.
