Honeycomb weathering

Form of cavernous weathering and subcategory of tafoni

Honeycomb weathering, also known as honeycombs, honeycombed sandstone, is a form of cavernous weathering that consists of regular, tightly adjoining, and commonly patterned cavities that are developed in weathered bedrock; are less than 2 cm (0.79 in) in size; and resemble a honeycombed structure. Honeycombs also been called alveoli, lacework, stonelace, fretting, or miniature tafoni weathering. The size at which honeycombs are differentiated from tafoni varies greatly in the scientific literature and lacks an official consensus.
